(11,446 posts)How can we 'dis-arm' weaponized social media?
That's my question. People are falling victim and we need to do something about it. Social media isn't going away any time soon.
Have a wonderful day.

(22,417 posts)1776 American Revolution: With the Halifax Resolves, the North Carolina Provincial Congress authorizes its Congressional delegation to vote for independence from Britain.
The Halifax Resolves was a name later given to the resolution adopted by North Carolina on April 12, 1776. The adoption of the resolution was the first official action in the American Colonies calling for independence from Great Britain during the American Revolution. The Halifax Resolves helped pave the way for the presentation to Congress of the United States Declaration of Independence less than three months later.
