Tackling 'viral hit' addiction

LETTER: We hear all the time about drug, video game and shopping addiction, among the most common ones. However, these days it's about "viral hit addiction". It's okay if the person who sends a posting about something is genuine in his or her concern about a certain issue. However, if the intent is to humiliate others, expose one's own weakness in public or to become popular by spreading quickly from person to another particularly over the Internet, we must put a stop to it. The spread of stories, news, graphic videos, and pictures of an issue via social media that appear exaggerated is a result of the information explosion without borders and limits.
