 al Hunter Biden

it
While we had recent feedback about addressing Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden as Poli cs, we can also rate as Social Issues in most
instances if the story is addressing his alleged crimes (since this would fall under the topic of corrup on).

Example:

This post is talking about Hunter Biden and content on his laptop that was brought to the FBI. Given the topic of corrup on involving a
CO

poli cal gure, we can labels Social Issues (even know the alleged crime are involving mostly one person).

 al Poli cal Tyranny

Posts talking about poli cal tyranny and tyrants, along with dictatorships etc., would get both Poli cs and Social Issues in most cases since
they are addressing corrup on.

This post is showing someone with a sign men oning Donald Trump and King George and is talking about defea ng them. Since it is
referring to both under this topic of poli cal tyranny and overthrowing them, we can label as both Poli cs and Social Issues.

 al Beauty Standards

For posts that talk about confron ng a social norm such as a beauty standard, we can label as Social Issues.

Here the post is showing a doll of Kamala Harris, which would get the Poli cs label. Addi onally, since it is focused on the idea of moving

from the standard of the Barbie doll type of beauty standard and o ering more diversity, we can label as Social Issues.

 al COVID-19 Interac ons

it
If an interac on that has been altered due to COVID-19 is within a medical context, we can label as COVID-19, but if there is nothing really
talking about COVID-19, given the common nature of this “new normal” (mask wearing, “elbow st bumps” etc.) we do not need to label
every post that shows these things as COVID-19.

Example:

The transla on of the text here has nothing to do with COVID-19 and although they are wearing masks and giving “elbow bumps”, given
this is a common prac ce due to the pandemic, we would not need to label as COVID-19.
