Getting serious about social media

I don't think social media is a place to get serious about. Especially some of the casual social media like the Facebook, twitter etc. These places are there to have some fun and that is it. I don't think it is a place to have serious discussions about anything like politics, religion or anything else. Primarily because people get to the social media casually. They take social media casually. I see people expressing some strong views about religion, politics and some even bringing their personal lives on it. I think the latter one is ridiculous. Why would anybody want to bring their personal lives on the social media. I also see people putting all their day to day information on the social media. This is so dangerous in these days of identity theft etc. Believe me identity theft is the next big thing. Go read about it online.
If you do wish to express strong political, religious or social views, go to the respective forums. Get to the parliament if you are serious about politics. If you want to get serious about religion go to the mosques or other places where people are serious about it. Just imagine, you have a religious posting in your facebook account and at the same time there is a picture of an inappropriately dressed woman on the side advertising a product. You would not feel good right.
You can go on and on about social media, the bottom line is do not take it seriously guys.. and do not put too much of personal information over there.
