Disadvantages of social media.
There is a saying that everything that has an advantage also has a disadvantage.
I will be sharing two major negative impact of social media
In our generation.
- It's mostly used to commit cyber crimes
- it's very addictive
Cyber crime
This includes child pornography, email spamming, cyber bullying, phishing and virus dissemination, identity theft.
This is the most frequently crimes committed on social media platforms.
Cyber crime, this is very disturbing because it kills trust. as business owners, marketers, individual the only job needed to be done is building trust with your clients online this is one of the most difficult task in online marketing.
It has even become much more difficult this is because the rate of identity theft has increased and this is pretty disturbing and not health for both markets and Clint..
Child pornography
this is very ridiculous because most time our children even have more time than us in exploring the looks and crannies of social media platforms, and most time as long as your data is on. The most awful thing is that it just pops out you don't need to search.
Now imagine the world in the next 10 years children will begin to abuse sex. Is that what we want? Please say No to child pornography.
Addiction
This can be defined as a condition in which a person is unable to stop a continuous habit even when it is harmful to the human body.
Social media Addiction has cursed 5% death in our human race I will tell you why.
Most time youth are not disiple to know when,where, and how to use a phone you see them on them pressing phones on high ways or the put on an ear pies am sure most of us have see videos on YouTube about accident cursed social media platforms.
