Activity 8: In My Own Point-Of-View!

The use of social media as a tool for information, communication, and entertainment is undeniable. It has changed the way people
share knowledge, express opinions and share creative content. However, this also poses a great risk for people, most especially young
people, who carelessly click, post and share something online.
There are different reasons why social media users need to think before they click. First, not all posts on social media is true, so
clicking and reposting such may make things even worse. There are a lot of fake news spreading online, and if one is not careful enough
to determine the truthfulness of the information posted, he or she may become a victim and may further spread fake news to others,
resulting to multiplication of lies and misinformation.
Second, social media is not a safe place for everyone, most especially young people. There may be contents that need to be
filtered such as those that encourage immorality, violence, bullying, crimes, suicide, and others. Hence, parents or someone
knowledgeable and mature need to guide their children in using social media appropriately.
Third, sharing is not always caring. There may be sensitive content on social media that is much better not shared, such as private
photos and videos, personal information, etc. There have been news of phishing and hacking of accounts due to personal information
shared online. There were also reports of malicious photos and scandalous videos spreading across the internet being shared by social
media users. People no longer know which is more worthy to share and which is not.
With the reasons stated above, it is imperative for us to be more responsible on what we post, share, comment or like. As the
saying goes, “think before you speak”, we should also think before we click. It’s better to be
safe on social media than be sorry.

2. According to the writer, why do we need to ‘think before we click’?
