After reading the article, I have realized that no matter what you put on the social network, whether it be blogging, Facebook, or Twitter, someone is going to read it and probably save it. I'm not a huge blogger, I never have been. The only reason why I have a blogger is because I have needed it for classes in the past. I used to blog when I was younger on a website called Xanga. It was kind of like blogging. You basically logged on and wrote an entry about your day and anything you wanted to. I would usually write on it everyday. Eventually, that faded away when Myspace came out.
I think blogging has an impact on society. I mean after reading the article, it shows that people can write whatever they want, even if it's not true. People like to find out about celebrity's lives mainly through Twitter and blogging and magazines. People always put false facts on the Internet so it's hard to believe what is true and what's not. It impacts society because people could read something and think it's true when it's not. That could cause problems with a lot of people.
I believe more people will keep blogging about whatever they want because no one is going to stop them and who's to say the person who wrote the blog was the one who made up the rumor. Maybe someone heard from someone else and then they decided to write about it since no one else knew about it. I don't think its necessarily a good thing that anyone can write anything they want because that can cause problems with people. No one wants to have false rumors about them being spread around so why would someone do that? It is clearly wrong and even in the article for Nikki Haley to be accused for tax fraud, caused problems with her and the press. It's not a good thing and more people should be more careful about what they blast on the social network.
