Sociologist Warns Against Spreading Negative Images of Egypt on Social Media

Dr. Walid Rashad, a professor of sociology at the National Centre for Social and Criminological Research, has warned against being swept up in filming and sharing negative scenes from Egypt on social media.

His warning focused on the circulation of such material through online platforms and the risks associated with presenting a negative image of the country.

Rashad highlighted both the recording of these scenes and their subsequent publication, drawing attention to the role of those who create and share the content.

The remarks put the spotlight on social media users’ responsibility when posting material about their country. The brief statement did not identify particular videos or platforms.
