The Situation

“Remember, dear,” the grandmother warned her 10-year-old grandson, “社交媒体 (social media | shèjiāo méitǐ) can be tricky. When you’re in your 朋友圈 (circle of friends | péngyǒu quān), be careful who you 关注 (follow | guānzhù) and who becomes your 粉丝 (fans | fěnsī). Don’t just 点赞 (like | diǎnzàn) or 分享 (share | fēnxiǎng) everything. Think before you 评论 (comment | pínglùn) on 帖子 (post | tiězi). Be wary of strangers in 直播 (live streams | zhíbō), and don’t get too caught up in following popular 话题 (topics | huàtí) or chasing 标签 (tags | biāoqiān). Always be careful with 消息 (messages | xiāoxī) and 通知 (notifications | tōngzhī). Don’t give out too much personal 资料 (information | zīliào), and think twice before 注册 (registering | zhùcè) on new sites.”
