As individuals, we should use Facebook for exactly what we want it to use for. Want to post pictures? Do it. Want to talk about politics? You can. Because bottom line it is your Facebook page, and unless Facebook eventually blocks it, you can do it. Some people might not like what you have to say, but that is their own opinion. When it comes to objects of judgment everyone is entitled to their own opinion of how they view Facebook in its entirety. Although, some users post riskier content than others which can cause a dispute. In the article we read I appreciated the quote, “That said, we should not place the responsibility to uphold democratic values entirely on Facebook. As moral agents, we should also hold ourselves responsible for our conduct, and we should be reflective about what we say, react to and share when we are on social media.” (Liao, New York Times) This was a good explanation of what conduct should be like on Facebook and how we should act.
Financial supporters are the reason why Facebook is so relevant as well. Companies rely on Facebook for advertising in the same way that Facebook relies on companies advertisements to make money; it all comes full circle. So falling into advertising traps are the best way for us to be loyal users.The Institution of Facebook is where the biggest issues lie due to controlling how the data is being used by 3rd parties. We as loyal users need to understand that anything we put online is public news and we technically could never control where it goes.
As for our professional colleagues on Facebook, it is very important to create stable online relationships with others to have a positive experience on this site. Studies show that Facebook could possibly create negative experiences due to the content it shows. In order to stay away from this loyal users must fill their own pages with good quality people and pages. Also doing the same with other societies such as Instagram (which Facebook owns) and Twitter.
