    I believe that in the world of social media platforms with a rapidly spreading creation of content available, there is a grey area between what is acceptable and what is to be taken down for the safety and peace of the social media community . This lesson gave me an amount of realization and more learnings about critically reading and viewing content to assure that it is safe, and also if it does not goes against the guidelines given by the social media platforms, and also about analysing and deep diving into the intention the content creator wants to evoke into its viewers, or to the community in general.
