There is no doubt social media has
made the world a more connected place, but all those connections also create
unprecedented access to people’s information. Back in 2012, Facebook said that
around 8.7% of the accounts on their platform were fake, which, at that time,
equated to around 83 million accounts. Social networking can be great
experience for us but also has clear risk. Social media is harmful because it
invades people’s privacy, causes addiction and affects social skills.
Invasion of privacy is a serious
issue concerning the Internet. It occurs when individuals cannot maintain a
substantial degree of control over their personal information and it’s usage.
The more personal and professional information you include on your public
profile, the easier it is for a hacker to exploit that information to gain your
trust. Hackers can use your information to pose as someone else.
The number of human who are addicted
to social media is increasing. They spent ample hours of looking at other
people’s life when they could be doing other productive activity. When they are
addicted to people’s life, they tend to become more competitive as they like to
compare their lifestyle with other people that they saw on social media. This
will lead into a negative addiction and it is not intellectual at all. People
should be more infatuated with reading informational articles on the internet
Apart from privacy invasion and
addiction, poor social skills has also undoubtedly become one of the inevitable
contributing risks of social media. Once they become totally absorbed in
playing social media, they will give their utmost focus on it and have little
time to make interactions with real friends. Hence, they prefer to stay in the
shadows and be alone. This has truly become a setback for them and that they
should be given extra attention in order to eliminate this risk.
In conclusion, social media risks
people’s privacy, cause addiction and results to poor social skills. There
should be restrictions for certain people to access social media. This action
will prevent people from watching inappropriate videos such as those that
contain violence and sexual contents. Therefore, people will not be exposed to
improper contents that lead to bad behavior.
