In today’s society, social media can have detrimental roles in situations such as the Chick-fil-A case. The chick-fil-a case that is discussed in our textbook was about the current president and COO of Chick-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, commenting on gay marriage in 2012. Cathy’s comments along with the family's support of conservative initiatives caused a media frenzy of criticism and support that spread rapidly on Twitter and Facebook. For instance, “Jim Henson’s company, which supplied Chick-fil-A with Muppet toys for kids’ meals, withdrew its products and made a financial contribution to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation” (Seversen, 2012).
