Social Media Repercussions

 


The social media, as we all know what it is and how we have become it’s slaves. We post our photos or write opinions and comments about various things happening around us. We all use social media and it is not a wrong thing it is made for entertainment of people but sometimes we don’t think what we are doing and post wrong things and post socially wrong comments. We do not think that these posts can harm us in the future and nobody knows the future.

 Ollie Robinson, an England cricket player who made his test debut for England in 2021 against New Zealand. He posted a racist and sexist tweet in 2012 – 2013 and he didn’t know that the posts which he created could harm him and his cricket career and future prospects. After he made his debut, with the fame of international cricket his posts started to trend and the whole world knew more about him. After knowing about his legacy tweets, the England Cricket Board (ECB) started investigating about it. He did apologize for his mistake and the thoughts he posted on twitter. After the first test of England and New Zealand the ECB came up with decision of suspending Ollie Robinson.

In the first test he performed very well but now he is suspended from international cricket. After that England Cricket Board checked the Social Media History of all players and they found that Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan, James Anderson also commented on wrong things. James Anderson too apologized for his previous unacceptable tweets.  ECB is still investigating on Jos Buttler and Eoin Morgan’s case.

So, the moral of the story is that we should not post wrong or socially unacceptable comments hurting or against any person, caste, creed or religion. In this socially active world, we should think twice and post as it can harm our future also.
