In some countries, they even try for likes, and these are not only totalitarian but also democratic countries. Why? Because the social networks consider the “like” as an attempt of sharing information and these material appears on the user’s page as a content approved by his/her friends. Thus, before “liking” any content, think about whether it is worth contributing to its spread.
