surveillance nature of social media

 We constantly surveil each other on various social media platforms. We decide who we want to continue being friends with based on what they post and their attitudes about certain things. If someone is being abusive online users are encouraged to report it to the moderating staff so the account can be temporarily post blocked or suspended. All online users are watchdogs for behavior. That is why you should abstain from posting hurtful or negative things on your personal Facebook, and many people have throwaway accounts or other accounts on different sites where they post controversial opinions or a private Twitter for venting. Venting intense emotions on your main page can cause people you barely know to get into your business or even call the local authorities for a wellness visit. many people are very careful about expressing certain emotions on their main page because of who might see it. Every post is constantly surveilled by friends, family, and even strangers.
