The communication consultant author of this article Karthik Srinivasan opines that a person must take proper precautions while using social media platforms like twitter and facebook. He advises people to be considerate, thoughtful and averse from extremes while making a post. You may feel like you are expressing your views in loneliness but it is your false notion. Whatever you write on social wall it is visible to is are seen by thousands of others. So even while enjoying your freedom of thought you must think that you can't enjoy freedom of expressions as per your whims. Some decorum must be maintained. Otherwise while commenting on some hot-button topics, if you respond using extreme words like terrible, miserable etc you may become a butt of ridicule if it has a positive inference or if used in negative meaning it may invite the similar expletives from others against you.
Mostly it is just a search away to know the veracity of the facts served by others. Nowadays when the fake news are rampant a dire need has arisen to keep an effective bullshit alert in your mind and remain excessively vigilant all the time.
