Summary | Nowadays, people don't take the time to "think" and go from one emotion to another very quickly, especially on social media. For instance, Facebook introduced its "reaction" buttons. Today, it seems that a laughing emoji is worth a long speech. Facebook can also gather its users' personal information thanks to the reaction buttons. Our communication is now based on emotions, which can be dangerous.
