The Maryland Department of Juvenile Services (DJS) has launched an internal investigation into an anti-snitching social media post that featured a video call with an incarcerated teen.
This is an update to the original video published in 2020. I’ve included more data for Chinese social media platforms and included some that I left out such as YouTube and Telegram, since they’re no longer just basic apps for video and messaging. In this data visualization video I look at the most popular social media networks based on active accounts during that time.
These stats come from Wikipedia, Statista, archive.org and from Google Books searches. I did not include those platforms that did not report stats. Some of the data includes approximate numbers as the data available skipped years.
In the video I included screenshots of certain platforms from the list as they looked during that particular year. The platform thumbnails:

In recent times, concerns have arisen about the practices of certain segments of Indian media, revealing a pattern of subtle news suppression that has raised eyebrows among both citizens and watchdog organizations. While media is traditionally seen as a pillar of democracy, these concerns suggest a departure from its intended role. Critics argue that a combination of editorial bias, corporate influence, and political pressure has led to the selective coverage of news stories. By strategically underplaying or altogether ignoring certain stories, Indian media outlets may be inadvertently shaping public opinion and limiting citizens’ access to a well-rounded understanding of critical events. As media’s influence remains profound, an open discourse about news transparency and accountability has become increasingly vital in maintaining a healthy democratic society.
The implications of this alleged silent news suppression are far-reaching. With the rise of digital platforms, the speed at which information spreads has increased exponentially, making the role of media in shaping public perception more crucial than ever. By systematically sidelining certain stories, media outlets might be compromising their responsibility to inform the public objectively. As citizens become more cognizant of these dynamics, demands for greater media integrity, unbiased reporting, and ethical journalism are echoing across the nation, calling for a reevaluation of media practices and a renewed commitment to upholding the principles of a free and transparent press.
