Advantages

Disadvantages

1. Mental health problems (Psychological and Psychiatrist) – Social media dysmorphia

and snapchat dysmorphia (concerned about snapchat streaks – psychiatrist disorder)
[Body dysmorphic disorder, or BDD — a recognized psychiatric disorder — is when
you become obsessively concerned and dissatisfied with your appearance even
though there isn't anything wrong.]
2. People are becoming more isolated with lesser interaction in the real world
3. Surveillance capitalism has come to shape our politics and culture in ways many
people do not perceive. [Surveillance capitalism is an economic system centred
around the commodification of personal data with the core purpose of profit-making.
Since personal data can be commodified it has become one of the most valuable
resources on earth.]
4. Hate culture, Islamophobia and white supremist and racial discrimination is being
promoted by social media. [White supremacists are believed to be following the same
path as ISIS using online social media platforms]
5. Fake news and its repercussions (We have gone from information age to
disinformation age) [Indian mob lynched many Muslims on the fake news of cow
slaughtering on social media]
6. Democracies are under assault and social fabric of our society is being eroded.
7. Data theft and polarization of society is another stark reality of social media. [Data
hacking and Russian spying in US elections 2016]
8. There is no ethical design of social media and is completely focussed on money
making [moral and ethical values vary from society to society, almost impossible to
follow all] [Tim Kendall (former executive and director of monetization at Facebook)
was hired for figuring out money making techniques out of Facebook]
