Why we need a social media regulation board.

Social media has reduced the human race to a single instinct; recklessness and with utter emotional disregard for fellow humans.

Whatever motivates a sane mortal to publish graphic images from a scene of accident is one thing that is hard to wrap your head around.

My guess is that such individuals are always after attention and the so called on "social media influence". But, you see, garnering influence does not mean stooping so low. No. It means pursuing a worthy cause that impacts positively on the society and establishing oneself as an authority in that field.

One thing these individuals revel in is the fact that there is no such definite regulation that prohibits them from such gross misdemeanor. Maybe. But the law of social responsibility demands that we should always think about the implication of our actions on the next person.

This culture, and other forms of gross misconducts, on the internet can only be stopped if we set up a board to regulate social media because, let us face it, we have wasted a lot of effort classifying our films and forgetting about social media ; which is the real issue.

Let us have a group of individuals mandated to hunt down these cyber criminals and bringing them to justice. Let us have a board that closes down such accounts and bans the said individuals from using social media. Maybe then we can have sanity on the internet.

Of course, the major setback with such an initiative is the kind of politics that crops up. This would, definitely, be branded an attempt to gag bloggers as have other similar initiatives before.

The social media sphere has grown enough to be recognized as a state of some sort. The emergence of a state necessitates the establishment of a government to maintain law and order. Let us then have the social media regulation board to maintain the order on social media.
