Social Media Or Internet Quotes

“You really need to be careful In taking advice, being influenced, or following and supporting someone on Social Media. Choose to double-check, verify, and apply logic and reasonable thinking in everything. It is because you don’t know the state of mind, intentions, situation, or conditions of the person posting. They might be posting from prison, psychiatric hospital or dark place. They might be bots, egocentric, pessimists, greedy, dishonest, manipulative, narcissistic, vindictive, sarcastic, toxic, selfish, hostile, pedophiles, scammers, murderers, insane, minors, catfish or psychopaths. They might have bipolar disorder. Because they have a large number of followers or they are too vocal it doesn’t mean you should listen and take everything they say.”

“Don't let anyone, especially a stranger, make you do or say things you'll regret. Don't be swayed by noise or trends. Don't be influenced by bad things or people. Never listen to cowards who crave for love and attention, claiming to be heroes, strong, fearless and brave while hiding behind catfish and anonymous accounts.”

“The support, hype, applause, salutations, likes, comments, retweets, reactions, and compliments you receive on social media can make you feel or think you are something big and untouchable. They can make you jump off a cliff thinking you will survive and that it is not dangerous. They can make you do or say stupid, wrong, hurtful, harmful, and dangerous things. People are dying trying to prove a point and impress strangers on social media. People ruin their lives because of social media. Choose to use it with caution. Don’t let a few characters make you lose your career. Don’t try too hard to impress strangers on social media. Once you are in trouble or danger, they all log off and get on with their lives. They will hype you even when you are doing wrong things. Don’t be confused.”

“Once you experience the financial benefits of social media engagement, there's no turning back. For clicks, You will constantly seek ways to gain more engagement, even if it means saying and doing unethical, illegal, criminal, mean, vile, inhuman, or racist things. You will lie unprovoked, lacking sympathy, care, love, and compassion for others.”

“People who are adults know what they are doing. People are fully aware of their actions. They might offer explanations, excuses, or reasoning, and they can justify their behavior in any way they choose. They may be able to deceive others, but they know exactly what they are doing. May they face the consequences of their actions. Whatever they do to others, may it be done unto them as well.”

“People are choosing to use gender wars to score points. Joking or not, what they are committing Is a hate crime or hate speech. Most of our Issues and problems are not resolved in life because they were given or tagged to a specific gender. A blame game took place. Meanwhile, they are human errors, not men or women. If something Is good or bad, we choose which gender to allocate It to. By doing so, we are creating a stereotype. We are deflating from the real Issue by Isolating ourselves so that we don’t feel responsibility and accountability to act On the problem we are part of.”

“Many people choose an abusive, violent, and toxic partner over a kind, innocent, loving, caring, understanding, and supportive partner simply because they do not have a social media account. They don’t mind dating a serial killer, criminal, psychopath, abuser, cheater, social media or when the partner is poor is where they draw the line.”

“Mainstream legacy media often does not report on crimes committed by white individuals. When they are forced to do so, they avoid using pictures. If they do include pictures, they often choose ones that make the perpetrator look saintly. They also change their wording. The reason for this is that, in the future, when you refer back or search for information, it will appear that only black people are violent and commit crimes, as their pictures are more prevalent online. This skews statistics, leading to the false conclusion that black people are bad and white people are good. The problem is that crime has no color.”

“One of the dangers of social media is that it has become a platform for capitalizing on and commercializing lies, misinformation, racism, and propaganda. People are profiting from spreading fake news and false narratives, and some even pretend to be victims to gain attention or financial benefit.”

“They don’t hack the system anymore, they hack the people. Don’t allow yourself to be easily manipulated or influenced. Some people are paid to exploit your anger and frustration, using that to push you toward harmful actions or hatred toward others. Their goal is to mislead you and create enemies for you. Your hatred towards others is a business that is profitable to them. They want you isolated so they can easily break you.”

“People often create fake, catfish, or anonymous accounts to go online and say harmful things. Sometimes they do this to express their true feelings, but often it's just clickbait to provoke others, gain attention, or chase clout. They become comfortable behind the screen until they eventually cross legal boundaries. When they're caught by authorities, they start shouting that the government or president is a dictator, claiming their freedom of speech is being violated. They argue that they're being arrested for social media activity while serious crimes go unpunished. But when you look at their posts, they contain racism, hate speech, incitement to violence, defamation, treasonous remarks, incriminating content, misinformation, cyberbullying, and unethical behavior. Anonymity does not give you the right to break the law. You're not as hidden as you think. One day, your actions will catch up with you”

“Be mindful of what you say or post online, whether for social media engagement or financial incentives. Make sure your actions do not betray your country, promote terrorism, constitute treason, or break the law. Avoid ruining your life, your future, or harming your country. Do not violate other people’s rights or privacy. Always choose to do the right thing.”

“Why is it still called freedom of speech when people are threatened, violated, harassed, killed, or punished for speaking their mind and telling the truth? How can it be considered free speech when people have paid for it with their lives, careers, dignity, social media accounts, visas, passports, jobs, and even their ID cards? When you speak the truth, you are targeted, sanctioned, denied or stripped of a visa, deported, flagged on social media, banned, suppressed, cancelled, or fired. How can it be called freedom of speech if I am only allowed to repeat the script they give me? If I must choose my words from their approved list? I am allowed to say only the good things about them, but I cannot speak about the wrong things they do. They are free to say what they want, but I am not free to say what I want, I can only say what they want. How, then, can this be called freedom of speech? Is it freedom or is it controlled, policed speech?”

“Social media is a dangerous animal. It needs you to feed it to survive and grow. If you don’t feed it your time, attention, and data, it will die. But if you feed it too much of your time, attention, and data, it will grow beyond your control and can consume and destroy the things that matter the most. Like your peace, your dignity, your sanity, your purpose, your relationships, your friendship, your marriage, your career, and your reputation. The good news is this. You are in charge. Take from it what adds value, and leave the rest behind. Feed it data, attention, and time as little as you can. Stay in control, don’t let it control you.”

“The internet and social media are now being used as weapons to control and influence people. Those in power are doing everything they can to buy ownership of social media apps, platforms, and the internet itself because they want control. Social media exposes their lies, bias, hypocrisy, propaganda, mistakes, flaws, bad intentions, true colors, and acts of violence. They are being exposed for who they truly are and can no longer lie or control the narrative. Because of this, they are losing power. Please use the internet, Artificial Intelligence, and social media with discretion and caution. These tools are now used for surveillance, to spy on people, manipulate opinions, influence behavior, and collect data. Do not share, store, or post any secrets or sensitive information online”
