Netizens are often aggressive and harsh on their choice of words whenever they do not like what you said, what you post and to the extent that your opinion must me align with what is their opinion. Well, of course, you have your rights to stand for what you believe. But hey, in reality? Netizens would often bash you, so, you must be careful on your choice of words.  

In the seminar that they had conducted, they told us what are the advantages and disadvantages in having a social media. And social media is not a threat or harm on you, it's just that it must be used in its utmost altruistic use. 

Perhaps, this might be a medium to start a propaganda, to start a campaign, to light up the mind of the dull, to inform, to entertain or to educate. In everything that you do, you must know what are your purpose and what could it be its effects to the people who could've seen your post.
