The social media has undeniably revolutionized the way we communicate and share information. These digital platforms have become an undeniable reality of today’s society. Millions of people around the world actively use these mediums about various aspects like communication, business, education, and much more. There is no doubt that there are many positive aspects of social media but its harms are also beyond imagination, including the impact on human privacy caused by social media. It looks that posting anything and everything on social media has become a fashion, without realizing the impact it can create. Therefore, we must be very careful when we use the social media and refrain from posting any personal or sensitive information on these mediums. We must remain cautioned against unnecessarily posting everything on social media.
In the past any news, misinformation, disinformation or rumour would only reach to few people and the extent of spreading rumours was limited at that time. However, now, with the advent of social media, rumours spread rapidly and widely.
His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmadaba, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has on many occasions emphasized on this subject. At one occasion he said that Allah the Almighty has prohibited engaging in gossip, spreading false information, and speaking ill of others. It is essential to refrain from indulging in such negative behaviours. Privacy is being compromised, and it is due to the actions of humans themselves that this damage has occurred. So it is important to being mindful in such circumstances. It is crucial to educate those around us, children, students, and siblings about the negative implications of these actions.
