Social media gave all of us a platform. And since everyone has an opinion on everything, we have to be more careful when consuming content—not all of it is valid.
Probably nothing proves this point better than the subreddit 'Facebook Science.' Gathering the dumbest statements they can find on the internet, its 50K members constantly show that there are no limits to human ignorance

Theories? Evidence? Experiments? Reputable scientific methods aren't welcome here. This is the epitome of "My friend in the bar says..."
