Danger Lurking at Facebook and Twitter
« on: October 29, 2011, 04:12:20 PM »
"Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are causing psychological harm to large numbers of people by motivating them to publish profiles of themselves that resemble highly produced reality TV shows, while coaxing them into the erroneous belief that they are worthy of having thousands of friends or hundreds of followers."  source


Not to mention the physical danger to many who are unwise in their selection of "friends" that moves into the real world because of these sites.

As fallen humans, we have a great tendency to create idols. How is this venue any different? It can and has been used for the good; however, we are not always content with that.

  For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89

It is true that social media can be used for good. At some point one ought to consider that the damage being done in society is such that one cannot give influence to it. Ten years ago when this topic began there was danger being done. I have not posted anything on Facebook, nor have I linked a post to Facebook. One who does not understand the dangers may want to take some time to hear the witnesses from last week's Congressional Hearing. One is a Facebook whistle-blower, another a former Facebook employee.

Yes, and the young ones have no idea as they have no understanding of socialism and communism. Sadly, they are being led astray by their elders also. Ones who ought to know better. And, we need to take care that there are two forks in the road, not just the liberals.

The video won't open for me. It says it's not available in my country.
But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press  toward the mark. Phil. 3:13,14

It would be interesting to know if it was Facebook or the Canadian government who blocked it.  Probably Facebook since it was a condemnation of them. I guess they thought they could get away with it in Canada.
