Facebook and Twitter are not public services. They are there to make money off of people clicking images and text that other people pay them to show. It does not require truth but is easier to get people to click through if you play on their fears. If it is a poison, which I think it is, stop using it. It’s akin to an abusive relationship. At some point you (journalists) have to just help get the abused out of it. You’ve tried to get the abuser to stop but it hasn’t worked. The abuse has not only continued but it seems to have increased dramatically. Stop empowering the abuse and GTFO. Boycott if you have to. The Internet is not Facebook nor Twitter.
