Yeah, I say verily unto thee, gather around and hearken unto the parable of the modern-day Samaritan and his scroll – the “Scroll of Faces,” if thou wilt.
In a land called Cyberspace, many ventured to the town square known as “Social Media.” Here, they would share their daily bread, fabled cat portraits, and occasionally the dance of the macarena revived. But lo, not all was jubilant in this virtual gathering.
Brother Simon, fond of posting his daily meals (especially the heavenly manna, known nowadays as ‘avocado toast’), one day received a scroll from a prince, claiming to offer vast riches. “Just clicketh this link!” it read. But lo, the link led not to gold, but to a pit of despair and stolen identities!
Meanwhile, Sister Rebecca, fond of documenting her every step, forgot to hide her location tags. Verily, her followers knew she was “at the marketplace” or “by the well,” making it easier for Brother Nosy and Sister Stalker to know her every move. A grave misstep, indeed!
Then came Judas 2.0. He seemed like a trustworthy follower, always double-tapping thine posts. But behind the screen, he was selling thine data for thirty pieces of bitcoin.
To safeguard thine own tales and treasures:
Beware the Quiz of Trivia – Though it promiseth to tell thee which disciple thou art, it might just be a ruse to steal thine data.
The Mute Button is Holy – If Brother Troll vexes thee with his comments, mute or block him, for thy peace of mind is a treasure.
Double Checketh Thy Tags – Lest you desire all and sundry to know that you’re feasting at the Last Supper Cafe, again.
And lo, as you navigate the winding paths of Social Media, remember: It’s all fun and games until someone loseth their password or soul to the allure of viral fame. Guard thy privacy as thou would guard the Holy Grail and laugh in the face of those phishing attempts, for thou art enlightened! Amen to that!
