RULES OF ENGAGEMENT FOR MY SISTERS ON SOCIAL
MEDIA
This must be my 3rd article on facebook in the last month or
so.the reason is simple I spend a lot of time on facebook,I belong to over 60
groups, subscribe to about 30 or so pages, advocate and belong to a number of
causes and I interact with my family and friends easily through one medium.
From my father down to my son practically my entire family has an account on Facebook.I will not sing fb praises, rather today I will give unsolicited
advice on social media and decorum. Decorum means propriety, appropriateness,
good behavior and dignity, Every decent lady is supposed to have decorum in all
her interactions. Discipline is another important requirement for social
interactions especially between the sexes or else Mark Zuckerbergs fortune
would not be enough to settle the number of divorces fb has and will cause in
the future..in our Islamic groups on fb we have fought many wanna be scholars
or keyboard ulamas who insist that social media is haram forbidden ,remove your
pictures women, get your husbands permission before joining and participating
in social media, don’t have men on your friends list, do not interact with men even
in posting etc
At first I withdrew from fb, then I returned and ignored people, removed
my photograph and put my sons, made sure married was my marital status but did
that stop top strange men from sending greetings? No! Maybe I’m talking from
the point of view of an old married woman but I foresee dangers that apply to
all women irrespective of age, marital status, religion, education level, financial
power.
1.
I will start with photos do you know how easy it
is for anyone on your friends list and sometimes even the public to copy or
download your photos? Very easy in fact too easy.
2.
Photoshop; many people can now change and or
distort photographs anyway they want.your beautiful face smiling at your
daughter or cousin in a photograph can be changed to you smiling at Barack
Obama in the white house with Goodluck Jonathan looking on .Even worse your
innocent photograph fully clothed can be changed and your face put on that of a
naked woman with very few people able to see the disparity. Many celebrities
have had their faces put on the naked bodies of porn stars in x rated pictures.
TO BE CONTINUED.............
nice job..
