To tweet about what you are doing, or what you will eat for
lunch is a common thing, and might not get so much attention of twitter.
However, when people are tweeting about bigger things in their lives such as
relationships or children, their tweets are more likely to get attention.
However, recently we have seen a new side of how to use twitter, and that is a
sad one; Live-tweeting in a violent conflict.
For example, when the
Israel Defense Force live tweeted its strike that killed a Hamas leader, and
since basically the whole world constantly are following social medias online,
this is a very efficient way of these leaders ability to reach people with
their messages.
Personally, I believe that twitter should do everything they
can to get rid of spectacles like this since I think it is very inappropriate
to have on a social media page viewed by that many people.
What do you guys think about this????

That is insane, if anything this could be used to find anyone who is stupid enough to live tweet them committing a crime, this could be one of those ways to catch criminals that just becomes comical to me
ReplyDeleteI think that this is very inappropriate to use this technology in order to view the death of another human being. I believe that whoever you are, you should not be use social media to be inhuman towards another human being.
ReplyDeleteI think this is just ridiculous. I agree and believe it is very inappropriate. Twitter was not made for people to use inhumanely. But once again we are reminded of how the world is not perfect and people can be immoral even through social media.
ReplyDeleteI think Twitter's main idea is free flowing information, think last year's Arab spring. The rebels planned rallies and attacks on Twitter. Why the Israeli military is talking about their attacks on Twitter is beyond me and I don't think they should, but Twitter shouldn't stop them. Quit following the IMF if you don't want to hear about it.
