My research question is "What are the negative effects of social media?

" Social media


is a platform for the public around the world to discuss their issues and opinions. Before
knowing the actual aspects of social media people must have to know what does social
media mean? Social media is a term used to describe the interaction between groups or
individuals in which they produce, share, and sometimes exchange ideas, images,
videos, and many more over the internet and in virtual communities. New generations
are growing up surrounded by mobile devices and interactive social networking sites
such as Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. To answer this research question, I will talk
about the different negative aspects of its usage. It is known that it increased
depression, suicide, and anxiety among teenagers. It is addicting because the algorithm
recommends the user similar posts so it increases the user's engagement time. Another
one is spreading fake news that fake news spreads six times faster than genuine news.
Social media makes us feel lonely, such as Instagram posts show the user how the
people are happy, making the user feel alone. Social media promotes conspiracy
theories such as pizza gate that are completely false, which leads a group of people to
commit hate crimes and plan rallies. Social media makes us hate the other opinion and
not wanting to listen to an opposing claim like in the dividedness between the
democratic and republican parties.
