| Social Media |
TJ-1800.3300-600 |
Online technology tools broadly known as "social media" that enable people to create and share content which may include text, images, video, audio and multimedia communications. Social media enable shared community experiences, both online and in person; and allow people with basic computer skills to tell their stories using publishing tools such as blogs, video logs (vlogs), photo sharing, podcasting (audio stories broadcast from the Web or downloaded to a computer or portable media players) and wikis (collaboratively edited Web pages). They can also help to filter and organize the overwhelming amount of information on the Web. Some better known examples include Wikipedia, MySpace, YouTube and Flickr. Other communities develop for support (Cancer Survivors Network), networking (LinkedIn) or political action (Open Congress). In this context, a community is a group of people with common interests who connect with one another to learn, play, work, organize and socialize. Virtual communities can be large or small, local or global, public or restricted to members. |

| Social Media Identity Theft Reporting |
FN-1700.3200-775 |
Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that people can use to report situations in which the individual thinks someone is using their personal information to impersonate them and create fake social media profiles that they control. Victims of this form of identity theft need to report the issue to the social media site involved (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn) and, going forward, set privacy features to limit who can see their posts, photos and personal information. If the victim believes anything posted on the fake profile is illegal content such as death threats, violent threats, or hate crime threats, they need to contact their local police department. |

TJ-1800.3300-600.84 |
Websites or services that provide a virtual community for people who are interested in a particular subject or just want to "hang out" together. Members create their own online "profile" with biographical data, pictures, likes, dislikes and other information they choose to post. They communicate with one another by voice, chat, instant message, videoconference and blogs. Users can often be "friends" with other users (though both must confirm that they are friends before they are linked), and the service typically provides a way for members to contact friends of other members. Some social networks have additional features such as the ability to create groups that share common interests or affiliations, upload or stream live videos, and hold discussions in forums. Included are specialized communities that are linked by a single common interest, e.g., TheSocialGolfer, Great Cooks Community, and generic social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. |

| Social Prescribing |
LH-6300.8020 |
The goal of social prescribing is to refer patients to psychosocial resources in their community to break isolation, promote autonomy, mobility, and a healthy lifestyle. Aimed largely at prevention, it complements traditional clinical treatments by recognizing that a person's health is determined by a variety of social, economic and environmental factors that cannot all be addressed through traditional medicine, or in the brief amount of time an individual is actually in a doctor's office. Social prescribing may include a diverse spectrum of community support and services, such as art classes, museum visits, fishing lessons, or knitting circles that are selected according to the individual's interests. A "social prescription" is typically made by a patient's primary care provider, after carefully considering their needs and whether social prescribing will benefit them. The process then involves a navigator or link worker who helps connect the patient to appropriate resources and supports the patient in implementing their social prescription. |

| Social Security Identity Theft Reporting |
FN-1700.3200-780 |
Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that people can use to report the theft of an individual's Social Security number, which can be used to get other personal information. Identity thieves can use a person's Social Security number and their good credit to apply for more credit in their name. Then, they use the credit cards and don't pay the bills, damaging the victim's credit. The victim may not find out that someone is using their number until they are turned down for credit, or begin to get calls from unknown creditors demanding payment for items they never bought. Someone illegally using a person's Social Security number and assuming their identity can cause a lot of problems. The number is confidential. The Social Security Administration protects people's Social Security numbers and keeps their records confidential. People should be careful about sharing their number, should ask why their number is needed, how it'll be used, and what will happen if they refuse. |
