All social media is always accessed by a crook and a fool.

A variant of the previous proverb, focusing specifically on social media. It asserts that social media platforms, by their design, attract and amplify both predatory behavior (crooks) and vulnerable, easily exploited users (fools). The saying is a caution against believing that social media is just a space for connection; it is also a marketplace for manipulation, scams, and harassment. Entering social media without skepticism is to risk being the fool.

"All social media is always accessed by a crook and a fool." Example: “He scrolled through his feed, sharing every viral charity campaign without vetting. His friend warned: all social media is always accessed by a crook and a fool. Do your research.”
