Thanks to the advent of social media, people are now better able to stay connected to their friends and family. They can even follow celebrities to

such

an extent which was not previously possible.

However

, the usage of social media has its risks. As people of all ages have access to it and use it in their daily life, it has become a major risk for children as they can be exposed to adult content which may trigger violent behaviour in them. The children are

also

vulnerable to cyber exploitation as they may not know the true identity or motive of the person they are interacting with online. Even when children are talking to someone they know, social media can still pose a lot of other threats. Cyber bullying is frequently reported in the news and occurs on social media among children.

This

is very problematic as it means that children can be bullied even when they at their home. Social media can be problematic for adults, too. Many people are comfortable posting personal views and opinions and other stuff on social media that they wouldn’t normally share in real life.

This

can indirectly cause a bad impression on other people, and if employers judge the nature of the content prospective employees post on social media to be inappropriate, it can affect their chances of attaining or keeping jobs.

This

posted information can

also

be used to track adult people and to know their whereabouts, which enables the anti-social elements to take advantage and stalk the people and blackmail them to get their bidding done. In conclusion, people have to be aware of the risks of using social media, and careful enough to post only minimal, risk free and respectable content. Only

then

the advantages of social media will outweigh the disadvantages.
