It is tearing people apart. It is ruining people’s relationships. It also increases our stress levels. It takes away our privacy. Lasty, it is also making us less safe. Overall, social media has a detrimental impact on society. I state this out of personal experience. Multiply people have messaged me and requested me on Facebook that I do not even know.

Dave Parrack, another article writer, contributes that “writing an update for Twitter (a form of social media) takes all of 20 seconds, and with cross-posting over other social networks switched on, that update reaches everyone you want it to reach (and probably more besides) in an instant.” This states that it is really easy to get whatever you want out to whoever you want.
