After reading this article, I came to question whether or not people knew that social media was a potential dangerous source for political reasons. The person who created the retweet button regretted it because of how content can spread like wildfire in this case possibly aiding the spreading of false information made me question how serious of a situation this was. Understanding that social media gives people platforms and attention to discuss whatever they have opinions about even about their aggressive intakes on political issues makes others believe it’s okay to continue this attitude. In this case it’s not wrong or abnormal to see such aggressive behavior in content. I can possibly agree to the authors solution in correcting these issues in order to maintain the idea of democracy intact or even in the picture. Reading this article was very informative and eye opening about daily social media because often times not a lot of people know how big of a contributing it is to current political issues.
