Thousands of years ago, long before Al Gore invented the internet, the book of Proverbs predicted the rise of social media here in chapter 9! Folly doesn't have to be the correct voice -- it's simply the loudest, and even though folly doesn't know anything, it doesn't stop folly from shouting to everyone who passes by, tempting them to turn away from their current path and opting for something easier, distracting them from their course by shouting loudly. It's easy to engage with folly.
If you are going straight on your way, avoid the temptation to engage. Stick to your convictions, to your path, to your course. Choosing to stray and engaging with folly will only lead you away, even if it seems so easy. After one step away from your path, the next is even easier, and soon you'll be on another path entirely.
