I'm glad this article touched on 2 good reasons why people are quitting social media nowadays: data privacy concerns and public health risks. But I think there's a third, equally important reason why people should consider quitting these platforms: public image management. I find that a majority of people who use social media accounts simply do not know how to properly maintain a clean public image. Whether it be because they don't understand or refuse to tighten their privacy controls, or because other people take everything they say out of context for the sake of tarnishing their reputation, the things you post to social media can always be used against you. And for all intents and purposes, you can never take it back once you post. For politicians, this rings especially true, and as far as I know for U.S. politicians, their social media accounts are 100% their thoughts, unsanitized or evaluated by a management team. I suppose the old addage remains true: if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
