Twitter Wars - How Far is Too Far?

Blog Post #4 

Twitter is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages which is "tweets" restricted to 140 characters. Twitter is the place to find out about what's happening in the world right now. 



After reading the article about the tweets between the Toronto woman and man getting into a battle, it was unbelievable. Honestly, like I didn't know that there are people that having personal arguments in social media. The wrong thing about it, is they were having arguments in front of the people and all of the people who are using twitter.

Guthrie and Elliot were both wrong. First, because Elliot kept on tweeting about Guthrie even though he knew that Guthrie blocked him.  Second, Guthrie called Elliot a narcissist, a waste of carbon and a serial Twitter harasser. So basically, it was all about revenge.


I think people just have to be more careful about what they are posting, like if you know that you'll hurt someone's feeling or if you know that you might affect someone, you should not post or tweet about it because people around you can judge you and of course, you don't want to get some "haters" or enemy in social media. 


You should think twice before shaming anyone in social media because you don't know how sensitive people are, and they might put it in court and punish you. But I think if the posts are getting too personal, it might lead you to the court and get punished by the law.
