We'd be all 😆, except this isn't really funny. Yeah, there's a lot of censorship in China. #TikTok refugees who ended up on #RedNote are finding out first hand.

Over the past 15 years, those of us now at Digimentors have often just 😱🙄🤦‍♀️💁‍♂️ over changes to social media platforms. Mosseri's explanation that people post vertical images is true . . . but the whole zeitgeist of Instagram has always been the square!

Good #barchart via @axios.com of which social platforms will benefit most from the TikTok ban that will almost definitely go into effect on Sunday.

Meta, Google stand to win ad share from TikTok ban
If the short-video app leaves the U.S. market, its dominant competitors will likely benefit most.

[1 of 2] Earlier in the year, I said I would post at least 80 photos from #TylerArboretum to celebrate their 80th anniversary. With almost 1000 pics #shotoniPhone and well over 1000 from my Sony Alpha cameras, I had no shortage of choices.
