Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok, play a vital role in the dissemination of information. It has has changed the way we communicate, do business, get our daily news fix and so much more. The most obvious pros of using social networks are the ability to instantly connect with people, know real-time news and information discovery, great opportunities for business owners, and for general fun and enjoyment. However, it is no secret that there's also a dark side in using social media platforms. There is the rise of misinformation and fake news. The freedom to post any content given to social media users, paired with the lack of accountability from social media platforms enabled the proliferation of fake news. Carl Vincent Rizon of Barangay Mansaya,Lapuz responsibly uses social media platforms and would like to stop or discredit fake news peddlers. 👩💻🧑💻
"For me, social media sites like facebook, twitter, instagram is very helpful in our daily lives. It helps contact friends, family, and other people even though they live far away. It is given that social networking is a great means of communication. It is quick, easy, and simple. We are more up to date with the issues and the happenings, good or bad, around the world. Posting photos, information is an easy thing to do but we must be responsible in what we post online. In posting or sharing something in media, make sure you're not hurting people. Be careful of anything fake. Never share a post without fact checking. Look for the sources. Fake news is no joke. It spreads lies and misinformation, making for an uninformed and confused nation.
FAKE NEWS MUST BE AVOIDED, ACCURATE AND FACTS SHOULD BE TRUSTED.
-Carl vincent Rizon
