What Do Social Media and Drug Dealing have in Common?
Most people would place social media and drug dealing at opposite ends of the spectrum. Gangs competing for territorial management control the world of illicit emotional enhancers. They rule their communities with iron fists, using violence, extortion, and intimidation to manipulate others. If you are tough enough, you can make a fortune. Communities formed by individuals with similar interests are the foundation of social media. Everyone has an equal voice. People participate to connect, learn, and share. They are part of interactive networks where members help each other for the common good. There’s room for everyone to be successful. All that is required is a commitment to participate in the conversation and provide great information.
