‘What the hell is wrong with you?’ I yelled. This
is Africa for God’s sake, who does that? It is not your bedroom neither it is
your personal album. This is a social media platform alias public domain’.
It’s been long I screamed like this. Yes, when my best friend told me she was going back to her ‘serial cheater’ boyfriend. Well, unlike that case I yelled to myself as I browsed through my Facebook home page. I know it’s really not my business but I just have to let it out. I was tempted to ‘report’ but then it was not my business.
‘Why would someone upload a naked picture of themselves’
(Am back. I apologize for my long absence.)
In today’s technologically advanced world and
the upsurge of several social media platforms, information about anyone can be
gotten within a twinkle of a ‘star’. One post and picture can be viewed by
millions of people at once as everything that goes online becomes part of the public domain
I remember stalking people and downloading their entire life story from the internet; all I needed was their first name. In light of this, the internet; social media has become a very powerful tool used by everyone including Job employers.
This brings me to a question I ask myself anytime
I am on twitter or Facebook
