Drive Moment - When People Post Themselves Crying On Social Media: Your Thoughts?

Loading player...
Selena Gomez received backlash on social media when she posted herself in tears, expressing her heartbreak at the deportation policies of America's new government. Many commented and criticized her for being inauthentic, and for not understanding the power she possesses to make a difference should she wish to do so. She deleted the post thereafter. When you see a video of someone you know, crying on social media, what’s your first thought? Are social media communities a safe place to share our pain?  And could our social media communities be too harsh on people who do this?
