I plan to add a brief paragraph outlining the significance of the many Facebook check-ins that happened recently. I feel like many people would ask why this happened and what it meant.How do we feel about adding more information on the Facebook check-ins and how certain youth were involved in the phenomenon?[1]~~~~

The article briefly touches on the protests that went on under the "Protests" heading, but it fails to describe the significance of the Facebook check-ins that went on. I want to draw on that and describe why this was such an important event. The act of checking in on Facebook drew a lot of attention to the issue, and I believe it is important to describe this process.
