The high frequency of reports on scandals initiated through social media leaves me to wonder if people have failed to understand the basic reason why social media exists. Social media is there for us to connect with others. That means social media is a public medium. People do not go on Youtube, Twitter or Facebook to keep a diary or a journal. People go on those sites to connect with others and the statements they post are public. Social media was never meant to be private. Think before you post. A simple rule to abide by: whatever you say or post on social media sites has to be something you are willing to share with a stranger on the sidewalk. If people abided by that rule, then the frequency of reports would decrease.
