Responding to the instructor WEEK 6 NR-506
Rossy, thank you, An unregulated public forum can expose people and ideas to uninformed inflammatory comments and reactions based on power struggles rather than logical thought. This power struggle can negatively influence public opinion. This interaction can also be positive by the initiation of conversation and by generating awareness of the situation.
Knowing the potential negative effects of social media, it can still be a powerful agent for promoting awareness and support for change and should be a part of the campaign for policy change. Other media outlets should be used, in order to reach people who do not frequently use social media. A broad range of media can reach the most people.
How do you feel about regulating social media?
