(Romereports.com) The Pope asked people to be truthful on social networks, spaces he says
are most favorable for dialogue. Now, even though sites like Facebook
and Twitter were created as communication tools, users say they're not
always used as they should be.
“Many people use it to flirt,
or to give information about their education or where they work, but
it's false, and they want to make themselves more important.”
“I think this is about anonymity. If they are anonymous, they can take this things without fear of repercussions.”
“Whoever knows me knows everything about me. My name is not on there, I have a nickname. Although my birth date is there.”
“Maybe
they are addicted to the social network. They just cannot have a real
social life. But I have my real social life and the social network is
only a part of me.”
Benedict XVI knows that the social
networks are a meeting point and hence why he himself has joined this
virtual space. It helps him increase the Church's presence in the
digital era.
