Fortunately, I've not been the target or perpetrator of inappropriate use of digital media. However, I've heard of multiple instances of social media being used as a "weapon" against others. Instances include youth spreading vicious rumors about others to for revenge to adults using the platform to play out their grievances and gain favor with others in divorce situations. The purpose in both these situations is to harm others with your words/posts....and most of the time that is exactly what happens. Some of these negative posts can have serious consequences such as the victim committing suicide. Words can hurt and people need to realize that the "hurt" is amplified when the words are broadcast to the world and everyone that person knows.
