Social media is a wonderful platform

But an ugly side also
Social media is a wonderful platform to discuss various issues and share your creative works. At the same time there is an ugly side to it. Some people use it for spreading hatred and wrong information is circulated. 
There is abundance of such post where the information has no factual basis eg comparative prices of oil in different countries, amount of Indian black money in Swiss banks....so on and so forth.
Saw some gory pictures posted as atrocities by India on north eastern people, Dalits and tribals etc, which are actually pictures of Tamils killed in last few years by Srilankan army.
No one says wrong things are not happening in India and that we should not discuss; but the information needs to factual and authentic. Otherwise poster's own motive and integrity will become questionable.
