Illustrate some of the issues associated with the use of social media tools
Ok, so we’ve all heard the horror stories about things that have happened on social media :
- Getting hacked
- Clicking on link that will give your computer viruses
- Negative feedback
other issues can include:
- Not abiding copyright laws
- posting offensive content
- posting too often or not often enough
- giving out information (eg. mentioning someone got fired)
So with all these issues how do we decide if it’s even safe for us to be using the internet? Wouldn’t it be better if we didn’t participate?
Well no. Why?
As I have stated before in previous posts, social media is a great way to branch out and capture the attention of a wider audience, in my personal opinion i believe the pros far outweigh the cons.
As a Library on social media it is imperative that we are careful with the content we create and share, making sure we abide by not only the law, but the sites and company’s policies. If we are careful and aware of these issues it is easy to avoid them.
