Social media addiction: Many people believe that social networking sites such as Facebook have a negative impact on both individuals and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, social
media
is the most used online communication application in the world, because of its convenience and
people
can connect with each other from out of nowhere. Without noticing the opponent if they really exist or are just a fake, those who hold evil intent might harm others by any chance.
Firstly
, the profile on social
media
such
as Facebook or Youtube can be anything.
Thus
some might use a real identity, else could be a fake one or only a non-exist avatar. With
this
people
who surf on social
media
almost be anonymous and tend to show their hidden side of themselves.
As a result
of being ,anonymous some might even post crucial things in their space or even directly attack with words by using negative comments about someone they might know or not.
This
can be called "Social Toxic" and it is contagious when approached in both individuals and communities.
Secondly
, social toxic was started when online communication technology has been released. Especially in the old-fashioned sites before the world had Facebook
such
as 4chan or whatever they called "web board" which policy on the Webboard is made user to be unknown and mysterious. So they can hate speech or say something bad if not violate the rules.
Lastly
,
people
who are addicted to social networking sites might absorb what they saw and try to mimic it. Lots of news has been approached that some
people
try to copy things from social
media
and the results have not ended well. I would say I strongly agree that Social networking sites have a negative impact on both individuals and society.
