18. Facebook Posts
We cannot deny the impacts that Facebook brought upon us.
Because of its versatile features and functions, it gained many users for
a short span of time. Filipinos took advantage of this - sharing
memories, communicating and making friends, share jokes and fun
stuffs, and even during this online class, we still make good use of it.
As users, we should be responsible of what we are about to share.
Because, even though we are the owners of our account, we cannot
miss the fact that others will get to see this and get hurt. Or that when
we share information, it should be based on facts not to mislead others.
As what they say, “think before you click”.
