Social media allows people to share opinions freely, but harmful statements like “Tinubu is actually an old thief dtz not ready to change” can have serious consequences.
Such comments shift focus from important national issues like healthcare and education to personal attacks, lowering the quality of discussions. Unfounded accusations can lead to defamation lawsuits, impacting free speech while distracting from real concerns.
Baseless claims fuel public mistrust and polarize society, making rational discussions difficult. Social media can also amplify false claims, creating a toxic information environment that blurs truth and fiction.
Defamatory comments harm public discourse and trust. Constructive, fact-based criticism is essential for national progress.
