Do not destroy the opportunities presented by social media: Gov. Dickson Seriake Caution

The Governor of Bayelsa State government. His Excellency Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson shared this on his Facebook profile yesterday as follows:

l love the new wave of social media

because of my love for freedom of expression. It allows us to get in touch with each other more easily, to receive and spread information, and co-ordinate among ourselves without having to rely on already existing organizations. Through social media, we all get a voice in our democratic conversation.
Like any other type of freedom, however, some use it to create and spread falsehood. While I do love creativity, I don’t think this is the most useful way to be creative- false realities are a waste of time and energy. Fortunately though, social media also allows some opportunity to separate the truth from the lie by giving us the chance to check the facts.
Let's check the facts, and let's not destroy the opportunities presented by social media.
