Quote from the article: “Journalists and bloggers also often “quote with impunity” from social media.”

Social media such as different social media sites has led people to have the power to easily share or quote someone’s work and spread over the internet. Basically, everything we’ve seen in the feed is categorized as public and therefore can be viewed by anyone. Problem is, people tend to forget that we should still be responsible on what we share on these social media sites and comes to the point wherein they are being unethical or immoral in some cases. One example is when tumblr, “Hello there, Racists” imposed some information from personal posts from different users with their opinions about the topic. This is one way of being unethical to someone regardless of whether that user’s posts are good or bad.
