As mentioned in the article, some prominent people use social media to spread fake news. When appearing in the public eye, having a PLN allows more people to get to know you faster, even if that knowledge is something you want others to know and may be false. Plus, the more you spread the news, the faster your visibility will increase. However, if it is an online tool provided by the employer, there are certain restrictions on building a community, such as the probability that news unfavorable to the employer or company cannot be posted, and the benefit of this restriction is that the community will be more united and will reduce the possibility of disagreements that can break the relationship.
As I said above, I will have some control over social media. I will try to minimize my negativity on social media where I have a large audience and not create false news about others and myself. Use and manage social media in a positive way.
Personally, I see the risk of engaging with the public on social media as that if someone creates fake news against you, this will also be seen by many people, perhaps to your detriment. The benefits are the opposite, more people can see you and boost your visibility, credibility, etc.
Stick to your principles, maintain your personal values, and do not let yourself be adversely affected by the comments of others. In response to negative responses and criticism, I will maintain a humble approach to these comments. If these comments are justified and convincing, then I will try to make changes. If the comments are malicious and unfounded, then I will ignore them, and if they cause harm, I will use all legal means to protect my rights.
