Facebook Paradox

The paradox you find yourself in when you want to up-vote a social media item that has a sad or negative subject. . You merely want to bring the post to attention of your social network but you question whether someone will misunderstand why you are clicking "like/+1/thumb-up/up-vote/etc"
I struggle with the Facebook Paradox. do I click LIKE to share this news feed item, "'Clumsy the Clown' tragically falls from balcony to his death at children's birthday party." Why isn't there a DISLIKE button? Or a button for MEH?

Girlfriend: "Hey! Post Happy Birthday" on your nephews Facebook page !"

Me: "I don't even know him. He is my sister's son."

Girlfriend: "Just do it !"

Me: "Yes, m'am-you are a Facebook Proxy."

Facebook

The Facebook is a dangerous social media that takes control of the elderly's brain using biochemical reactions and is very nefarious to one's mind, it also lets the government spy on you and takes control of your brain and trick you that the earth is flat because they want to cut funding to NASA to pay the debt to China, although this is rare and is only applies to a small fraction of people (if you believe that the earth is flat the CIA took over your mind). All data on Facebook is fed to The Zuc, an evil mastermind trying to dominate us all but to no avail.
Person 1: Check out this funny minion meme on Facebook
Meme: *Respect your parents they passed school without Google.
Person 2: Oh shit, the CIA has access to your brain, you shall be cleansed.
Person 1: Fuck you! The earth is flat and vaccines are a hoax.
Person 2: *Fucking kills Person 1 with a Desert Eagle 50cal.
Person 2: bruh

Facebook Shark

A fiercely opionated friend with a voracious appetite for debate. Someone who will pounce on loose comments and opinions and attack without mercy.

Related to:

Facebook Chumming:
The practice of luring friends (Facebook Sharks), by throwing "chum" into the water. Chum usually consists of political or religious comments... far too tempting for a Shark to ignore. The water in this case would be status updates and walls.
When someone knows a Facebook shark is around... making a comment like,

"The Church isn't interested in money or power...."
