D) These are all examples of a social media crisis.
Correct Answer is D) These are all examples of a social media crisis.
Explanation:
A social media crisis is a situation where a brand or individual experiences negative public attention or damage to their reputation due to something they have posted or done on social media.
An example of something that is NOT a social media crisis is a scheduled maintenance or downtime of a brand’s social media account. This type of situation may cause inconvenience for followers, but it is not a crisis and does not necessarily lead to negative public attention or damage to the brand’s reputation.
It’s important for brands to be proactive in their social media presence and have a plan in place to quickly address potential crisis situations, such as responding to negative feedback or addressing a controversial post, to minimize the impact on their reputation.
