Freedom of speech...

Very true Sami, only too often do folk tend to 'Flogg a dead horse'.

Yes, I saw that image you published. But I hope this horse (Ipernity) is not dead yet =D

True words ...

Words I myself try to remember =D Based on all the wise words I've seen in the past ;-)

I say to myself sometimes, too smugly perhaps, that I never use social media. ... Then have to backtrack because after all what is ipernity if not social media?

It mush depends on the definition, but I think there's always social media when more than two people communicating ;-)

:)

=D

Great !

Maybe it should look to the other direction, future... =D

free speech can be used in many ways, sometimes unfortunately....

Which is a very good reason for not using Facebook or Twitter.

Yes, and on any media there is a danger that the one who shouts more, silences the others.

=,(

Or at least not to use them for any selfish motives ;-)

one for sure has to be very careful, but I am not very active in social media...

Very true, Sami !!

Today I learned it seems to be quite possible to take words back and become forgotten at Ipernity... Much easier than it is at Facebook =D

Thank you for that advice!

Well, giving advices is always easy =) But to follow them is another thing. At least I keep forgetting them all too often =D

Hahahaaa - yes, you are right, but the photo itself is making me laugh!

I have to work very hard not to be a nasty troll when commenting on news reports about a certain orange person. Comment threads these days are brutal! Sorry to say, the internet is part of our problem.

Internet is a big problem! But that is not anything new. In the beginning of 20th century, those who had most powerful radio transmitters, yelled to silence the weaker ones. That got somewhat under control by international agreements. But again during world wars, propaganda and all kinds of selfish uses of media took place. Now we are in sort of cold war, which we don't even realize: A media war I would call it. =/
