- 7. How does this relate to social media? (but actually) “From clickbait headlines to unfair reviews of products and services, the open nature of social media presents ethical issues. The public should expect accurate online information, yet too often news stories, PR materials and other information are inaccurate. Our media ethics bookshelves are full of important pre-Internet conclusions that continue to speak to social media accuracy.” Jeremy Harris Lipschultz | Contributor at HuffingtonPost Isaacson Professor, University of Nebraska at Omaha
- 8. How does this relate to social media? (but actually) “Social media ethics also is becoming a matter of digital literacy for all citizens. As the Deseret News recently noted, while younger people have technology skills, the older generation offers experience, savvy and understanding of important questions: When do you need to avoid responding? What impact do social media decisions have on people? What are the effects of common practices? We can conclude this much about the ethics of social media: When we stray from truth that is based upon solid and verifiable evidence, it is impossible to defend actions through moral reasoning. Social media are not different from other media contexts. Tell the truth.” Jeremy Harris Lipschultz | Contributor at HuffingtonPost Isaacson Professor, University of Nebraska at Omaha

- 12. Examples of Poor Ethical Behavior on Social Media
- 13. Example of Poor Ethical Behavior on Social Media Claim: Actress Jennifer Lawrence said that the terrorist attacks on 9/11 wouldn't have happened if Donald Trump hadn't stolen the election.
- 14. Example of Poor Ethical Behavior on Social Media Result: These words were not spoken by Jennifer Lawrence. This fictional phrasing was made up out of whole cloth in order to paint Lawrence, and Hollywood stars in general, as imbecilic. The “Capitalist” Facebook page did not provide any source information about where and when Lawrence allegedly made this statement. The included photograph appeared to insinuate that Lawrence did so while talking to reporters on the red carpet during the premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2, but that event took place in November 2015, approximately a year before Donald Trump won (stolen or not) the 2016 presidential election. - Snopes.com
