What will be an ideal response?
Social media can involve the transfer of text, photos, audio, video, and information in a general fluid manner among Internet users. Furthermore, social media platforms have created online communities where people and information can be easily shared, searched, promoted, disputed, and created. Social media can be used to inform the public. In April 2013, two bombs exploded during Boston’s annual Marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260 others. What ensued was an extraordinary manhunt and massive use of social media by law enforcement to keep the media and frightened citizens accurately informed about what was going on, via its official Twitter account.
