This article is about how we should being using social media sites, such as Facebook in a completely opposite way. The writer goes on to say that we use Facebook in a way in which we agree with what everyone says and that we don't give our opinions on whether they're right or wrong. Instead, us, the users, use Facebook to like their post and not to show any emotions to whether they're right or wrong. They then go on to talk about how we should get rid of or delete our friends of Facebook and start to add people and make other friends, for where, they can be challenged if they have made a racial statement or something that you may believe that it is politically false. In addition, linking back to the last point, they also use the word 'freedom fighter' which of course means that everyone has an opinion and should not let someone get away with what they post on Facebook but to challenge them and show them what they think is true and what's false.
- It is not just left-leaning social media which are guilty of this. I recently visited the Britain First homepage and watched a video of some (and I paraphrase here) “patriots challenging the vile practice of halal meat”.
- I tried to ignore the fact that I was craving this approval more than the love of my family.
In my opinion, to some extent, I believe with what the writer is saying. I believe that everyone who is on Facebook has got an opinion and are entitled to it and for this reason, there is no reason why they should stay back and let the other users talk nonsense; if it was a racial statement and someone disagrees with their point, then they should argue with them or make a statement of their own and should make them a friend where they can have the option to share their views about the specific topic.
