Summary | Social media has led to a distasteful culture of showcased grieving on social media. Facebook is quick to prepare an "in safety" option so that people close to the site of a tragedy can mark themselves as survivors. Within minutes, artwork related to the particular even is circulating on the internet and people change it to their profile images. All of this does not help the victims so it is just a staged display of emotions for appearing considerate.
