LETTERS: Technology has allowed the transfer of messages at great speed. This can have dire consequences.
Some people use technology to insult other people's beliefs and values. Such provocations can raise tensions among communities.
As more people have access to social media, more will try to use it to create chaos. Rumours and fake news can be spread with a few taps of the keyboard.
Big threats can come from those who hide behind anonymity. Making offensive comments is nothing to be proud of.
Apart from spreading awareness about this, we should support efforts to fight this to ensure our nation's progress continues.
