social media is becoming increasingly popular among all age groups. However, sharing personal information on social media does have risks. Do the advantages of social media outweigh the disadvantages?

While
People
 from all age groups are showing more tendency towards social
media
, putting up personal information on online websites is not a safe option. In my view, the usage of social
media
 can have some benefits.
This
 is not to say that it has many hazards
,

show examples
 but brings opportunities for
people
 to access conveniently updated news and communicate easily from all over the world which is really beneficial.
Therefore
, the pros of using social
media
 surpass its cons. In
this
 regard, I will examine
such
 opinion in detail as follows:  There are many advantages to online platforms.
Firstly
, it keeps
people
 abreast of local and global events.
This
 is to say that it helps users to stay up-to-date with the latest news. Most
people
 depend more on digital platforms for cutting-edge news rather than buying ordinary newspapers as they are more updated and can easily be reached at any time.
Secondly
, social
media
 help
people
 to get in touch with each other wherever they are and without any effort or wasting time.
For example
, if you have a friend in another country, you can communicate with each other at any time.
Finally
, with
such
 mentioned positive points, negative points can be overlooked.
Conversely
, there are some drawbacks to social
media
 since they put user’s life at risk.
In other words
, because online websites ask for personal information, it would lead to many security problems.
for instance
,
people
 are under threat of being robbed by hackers through the usage of
such
 websites. In spite of
this
, the advantages of online
media
 are more than their disadvantages. To sum up,
although
 the safety of online platform users might be in danger, benefits
such
 as connecting those who are far from each other and its up-to-date features make it reliable to use.
