Facebook is a source of graphic representation of socio-political life. Some people and events are mainly discussed in "a positive vein". On the other hand, some users strongly condemn the same people or events. In some cases, diametrically opposite opinions are expressed. Some discussions are even "aggressive," said the expert.
