 Why do these problems arise?

Miscommunication:
• Several factors contribute to its spread, including the anonymity that
social media provides, the viral nature of content, the absence of
fact-checking, the presence of filter bubbles that reinforce existing
beliefs, and the emotional appeal of misleading content.

Cyberbullying:
• Cyberbullying on social media is accelerated by factors like
online anonymity, limited perceived consequences, impulsivity,
potential for a large audience, conflict escalation, revenge, power
dynamics, and lack of awareness about the impact of online
actions.
 Why do these problems arise? (2)
Self-esteem issues:
Self-esteem issues arise on social media due to social comparison, idealized self-presentation,
validation-seeking, cyberbullying, FOMO, body image ideals, and the pursuit of online perfection.

Loss of personal connections:

The loss of personal connections on social media is due to more superficial interactions, digital
overload, constant comparison, and envy. Distraction from real-life interactions,
misunderstandings, privacy concerns, and narcissism can also weaken personal connections.

Privacy concerns:
Privacy concerns stem from data collection, third-party access, data breaches, identity theft,
stalking, and public vs. private settings. Unauthorized sharing, government surveillance,
psychological privacy, and data misuse also contribute to these concerns.

Mental Health concerns:

Mental health issues stemming from social media are influenced by factors such as
cyberbullying, social comparison, addiction, exposure to negative content, and concerns about
privacy. Excessive social media usage can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, and reduced
self-esteem.
