SOCIAL MEDIA THREATNING CELEBRITY! This is a threat through social media for celebrities. (http://www.popstar.com/News/Celebrity/Article/1155)In "Kathy Griffin: 50 & Not Pregnant," the comedienne discussed the "Palin Army" that has invaded her life (via social media) with threats following her many jokes at the Palin family's expense.One Sarah Palin supporter wrote, "literally, 'I'm coming to your house tomorrow to murder you,'" said Griffin during the stand-up special.But she noted, "The Palin Army probably could never really survive against the Gay Army. Because we don't need guns. We have sarcasm and we have snark and we have our verbal [beep] rapier wit and, dammit, that's how we conquer” Fake accounts are also a media threat, celebrities have thousand fake accounts in twitter, facebook and so many fans made up blogs. They have fake information and all made up stories which are big threat to them. Celebrity name misuse is one of them most important social threats of today. There are many hackers of today using up celebrity names and sign up into fake accounts just to spread fake information spread stories which later will be a spam. One of the scary social threats is the confidential information leak. Where close people or employee of the celebrity gives out personal information to the world through the media. This way it produces a lot of tension.
Putting yourself out there in the social world is risky business. However it can reep major rewards depending on how you conduct yourself and how well the audience recieves you. I think Katy Griffin is better suited to understand the ramifications of her actions and words in cyber space because of her years of experience in comedy. Its forced her to develop a thick skin. However where the Palins are concerned I question their understanding of social media and its impact on their position with the public.
