It began to grow, flourish and spread at a violent acceleration that must be curbed and at the same speed, because it turned into a parallel world comparable to the world of truth, and even more than that, it began to control it, because its promotional speed has become enormous and amazing in promoting charges and assassinating political, economic and social figures, and within any profession and at all levels and without any exception, what we must pay attention to and from, has become an amazing and dangerous matter because it exceeded all principles, values, morals and norms, and after rolling and penetrating into minds and ideas, it became difficult to verify. Allow me to cite the Italian novelist “Umberto Eco”, who is in addition to his fame a high-class thinker, who had given an interview on the eve of his departure in “2016” to the Italian newspaper “La Stamia” in which he said:

“These media give the right to speak to legions of fools” who used to speak in bars only after having a glass of wine without causing any harm to others, and they now have the right to speak to the public like those who carry Nobel Prize.Here they are today attacking relentlessly, so that they do not distinguish between good and evil and without thinking about the damages or results, they have a double thinking that dominated the total space of humanity, and all this with the aim of rapid enrichment or harm to others to achieve malicious goals reaped from behind these media, is the goal of “Elon Musk” owner of Twitter (X) and “Zuckerberg” owner of Facebook and their competition in promoting the roles of social media and spreading its platforms in the countries of the world, especially among young people from young to middle age groups,

To use them and consider them spaces for entertainment and freedom of opinion and expression only? Note that some of the elderly generations take them rationally and consider that their role is important in directing public opinion, and that their impact has become much faster than the role of visual or audio and print media, and the goals today have become more than clear after their dominance over traditional media, check what I do, these media have succeeded in creating double thinking in people, which led to moral, spiritual and cognitive disharmony; For generations who have become attached to the point of madness in these media at the expense of the national professional media, which has become one of the biggest victims of these media, and whose decline, even absence or absence has become an important factor in the progress of these media and in the escalation of sin, hypocrisy and intolerance, and here we see the pro and no campaigns for and against and how accusations and defense are religious or political, and the mechanisms of investment in them and blackmail through the publication of political, economic and religious scandals, individual or collective, a victory. For this or in order to destroy that, which develops the language of hatred and contempt among the peoples of the third world or those who are hostile to the Western approach, the creator of these technologies,

I hope that we will scrutinize the magnitude of the intellectual and social devastation caused by the bad use of these media, which, if imposed on an individual, society or state, destroy them par excellence, as a result of the rapid promotion of accusations, the destruction of images of individuals and personalities, and the violation of family formulas, through the dissemination of scandals, images and embezzled conversations in various ways by these media, or through security systems. that want to overthrow an individual or authority.What does a charge acquittal do after it spreads? What are the ways to catch it? And is this possible? I rely on King al-Nu’man ibn al-Mundhir, one of the most famous Arabs in history, when he said: “It has been said that what has been said is true and if it is false… What is your apology for saying if it is said, “This house has a story similar to the language of social media.We must not deny today the absence of institutional media or its decline to a large degree, and this is the real goal of social media, and little by little all media will turn to become through these media, which have become portable in the hand, under and in front of the line of sight and the ocean of hearing, dominating the media arenas and their great role in the processes of stirring up ideological, regional and religious strife, and spreading hate speech and exchanging them between the parties through fabricated and misleading news that confuses plans and curricula and destroys populist societies, even if they are conscious and most of them.It is true that the majority of the countries of the world have begun to enact criminalizing laws for every wrong use of these media, and that they have imposed financial and penal penalties on every perpetrator against the other, society or the state, but the disharmony of global governance systems makes their power a force used against each other and against humanity for the benefit of economic, social and political ends, and now that everyone has discovered the power and danger of these media, I propose to build national systems that are flexible and fast with a real will to develop the national electronic media that is the first and last goal. It includes confronting the danger from these media with scientific and intellectual means that are aware of what is meant and what we want.
