🧾 Final Thoughts

It is not only a world of glitz and glam in the celebrity world as it is also a world where one is persistently in the spotlight. The role, as viewers and readers, is to ensure we question what we watch or what we read, and that we learn boundaries, and not anti-digital abuse.

We should become more ethical in our online conduct and contribute to the preservation of the dignity of people, whether they are as well-known as others.
