Information: Great responsibility
to have altered details aimed at suiting one's favor.
Especially when one has already a large following, whatever is posted on your Facebook account would be read or seen by your followers and friends and with this, comes great responsibility. Unless in some cases of accounts being hacked, you need to assume full responsibility of what you have posted and other information that comes from it. There are, however, ways to monitor and screen information through setting calibration. But generally, it is something that is highly characterized as free-flowing and therefore renders monitoring easier said than done.
The really sinful gossips are those that are not facts, but rather statements to bring out the inner manipulative person in you, to create situations to put people into niches, to control and to establish power, not the facts of peoples' actions.
Our President is no exception when in some occasions has made announcements and because of some inaccuracies would ask for apologies in the end. But as they say, damage has been done.
Recently, Cynthia Patag and Jim Paredes are being accused by netizens to have politicized the death of someone. They shared and linked someone's death to President Duterte's war against drugs. The immediate family denied such story. Ms. Patag and Mr. Paredes have had their share of the limelight in their heyday. Both openly supported the previous president and are explicitly critical of the sitting president. And so their motivation has been criticised as highly questionable. Lesson learned, they could not have borne the brunt if only they were prudent in obtaining and sharing information.
