Anyone who's experienced catcalling knows how uncomfortable the experience can be — but one woman has found a way to bring more attention to it. Last month, Noa Jansma, a 20 year old from Amsterdam, ran a social experiment where she takes selfies with her catcallers and exposes them on an Instagram account she created, @dearcatcallers. Jansma explained in her first post how doing this empowers her, "By making the selfie, both the objectifier and the object are assembled in one composition.

In the latest update for Instagram, the app rolled out a polling feature in its Snapchat clone, which allows a user to ask their followers to vote between two choices. While polls aren't groundbreaking on social media, (Twitter rolled out polls in 2015), there is one thing different about Instagram polls that you should probably know before you vote your heart out: They are not anonymous.

It's a sad state of affairs when it has become routine to see hoaxes and fake news doing the rounds during big breaking news stories. And the latest shooting in Las Vegas is no exception.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settled charges against individual social media influencers for the first time Thursday, setting a new precedent: influencers need to unambiguously disclose their connections to brands and companies they are promoting. Thursday's settlement specifically requires two YouTubers — Trevor "TmarTn" Martin and Thomas "Syndicate" Cassell — to clearly disclose relationships with brands they promote in the future.

The people running social media for Miami International Airport deserve some hazard pay. The airport's Twitter feed has been feverishly countering bad information and responding to inquiries, as Florida is slammed by Hurricane Irma. The airport, which sits on the southeastern tip of Florida, is currently closed due to the massive storm. That hasn't stopped its social media account from responding to requests over several days.

Internet history was made on May 22, 2005, when YouTube co-founder Steve Chenposted a video of his cat called "Pajamas and Nick Drake."

With the NFL a day away from the kickoff of its 2017 season, a definite question has emerged: Is this the year that the NFL finally embraces athletic activism the way the NBA does?
