Lessons
LESSON 1 – Rule 1. THE RUBBER BAND RULE – Everything on social media can snap back on you, please be careful what you do.
LESSON 2 – Rule 2. AQBS RULE – ASK QUESTIONS. BE SKEPTICAL. Is something on social media or the internet creating a strong emotion in you? Pause… Ask questions. Be skeptical.
LESSON 3 – Rule 3. ASK – WHO’S GETTING THE CANDY – With every post on social media someone is getting candy. The candy they’re getting isn’t actual candy… it’s money, fame, or popularity. So we should be asking the question, “who is benefiting from this post?”
