Be Careful Of What You Post and Share On Social Media!

0 0

Halloo,

I don’t think most of us pause to really think before sharing some posts on our social media pages. I find this quite disturbing honestly. I am not sure exactly what the people doing this hope to gain, but whatever it is I don’t think it is worth the consequences of this irrational action.

It is bad enough sharing fake news and updates. Misleading people and causing havocs. But destroying people’s lives with fake stories is the same thing as committing murder in my opinion. And those sharing stories like these are accomplices. They are accessories to murder because if we all refused to share and interact with posts like these the people doing this will stop.

I make it a point of duty to never post other people’s stories on my pages. Unless it is connected to me or have impacted on me.
Why?

Because! It takes a lot of work to verify these stories, in the meantime many lives would have been destroyed just because someone wants revenge on another person.

Creating some half baked stories on people is the new thing when people wants revenge on another person. The people sharing, commenting, have no idea the origin and cause of these stories.

We hide under the umbrella of teaching people about what is going on and how to be careful. With someone’s photos and videos? Sad when the person whose images are being shared have nothing to do with the story being circulated. We really need to chill before sharing some things.

I particularly don’t share anything with dead bodies, molestation, abuse, and any mind cuddling images. I will rather tell the story without them. My page is for positivity only. I don’t want to be confronted with things like these.

This type of bullying is going on daily and people are getting away with it on social networks. Why will anybody feel comfortable using someone’s picture with a story that has nothing to do with the person? And nobody being punished for this?

It is sad that taking revenge and vengeance has been taken to a whole new level and the gullible people who are sharing and commenting have no idea their own contributions to all these.

Ask yourself before sharing anything- is this true? what do I hope to gain from this? Educate others? Be first to share? Gossip?

Many people work themselves up online commenting and ranting on some fabricated stories. They pass judgement on one-sided stories. Cursing and abusing a person who they have never met based on what someone claimed the person did.

If you are one of the people doing these things, I just want you to know that you played a part in someone committing suicide, you played a part in destroying the mental health of someone you have never met. You played a part in ruining a marriage you did not know the origin of. You played a part in destroying a family somewhere. You played a part in turning two friends against each other. You played a part in someone losing their job. You did it all because you cannot exercise caution and restraint before jumping into a story. It is all on you!

There is no education or alerting others in destroying anybody. We can talk about what we don’t like going on in our society without getting personal and attacking a particular person. State your case without bias. You want to call out the bad behaviour of a particular person, be sure you have all the facts right before becoming judge, juror, and executor.

Don’t be a tool in someone’s vendetta against another person in online fights. Pause before sharing, commenting, responding, liking, and such. Take a step back and see the post for what it is. A personal war or something useful and worth sharing?
