Does this mean anyone can be ‘found’ through social media circuits if words have come up on the Flint Water Crisis? Is this done through regular trolling by using key words or with #’s? They may find my tweets and FB updates.
Hmmmnn, maybe I need to post more opinions through Twitter and Facebook and then they can throw me in Facebook jail. Are you aware of the Facebook jail? That is when you get reported and blacklisted. (by individual, company, organization) for stating your opinion on Facebook. (Facebook strips you of your privileges for a week where you are not allowed to post anything, upload photographs and also wipe away everything on your account).
