The only way Facebook can make a person more kind is teaching them to be fake. I have so many friends who will post comments on other people's picture saying "you look so pretty!" or "I love that dress!" only to call or message me and completely trash-talk the person they were previously complementing. Because everything on these social networking websites is public to all friends, people have to appear to be nice, whether they are or not. Everyone can see what Sarah said about Sally, so why would she say something rude only to have all the on-lookers see? Although things are posted where many other Facebookers can see them, there is still messaging and chatting through the website where gossip can easily be spread.
