Whoever controls his lips acts discreetly.—Prov. 10:19.

 

We may find that our self-control is put to the test when we are using social media. If not careful, we could unintentionally reveal confidential matters to a large audience. And once we broadcast the information electronically, we have no control over how it will be used or how much damage it will cause. Self-control also allows us to remain silent when opposers try to trick us into revealing things that could endanger our brothers and sisters. This might occur when we are being interrogated by the police in a land where our work is banned or restricted. We can apply the principle to “guard [our] mouth with a muzzle” in these and other situations as well. (Ps. 39:1) Whether we are dealing with our family, our friends, our brothers and sisters, or anyone else, we need to be trustworthy. And to be trustworthy, we need self-control. w22.09 13 ¶16

Very interesting that they also give the example of social media here as well..

 

 We see examples of keyboard warriors all the time on platforms such as FB or Instagram, it’s important to control our speech here as well and to put it into practice in case we need to be extra careful in the future in order to not divulge important information regarding our fellow brothers and sisters.
