This article seems to be conflating morality with paying attention to people in need.

I would call that “generosity”, perhaps. But when I see the word “moral” I think of things like:

* keeping one’s promises

* being honest

* being fair in one’s dealings

And I don’t see how Facebook or social media in general can affect that.

In my mind, if someone needs encouragement to act moral, then that person is not truly moral.
