Social media: is it still reliable?

We don't have a choice on whether we do social media,
The question is how well we do it.
In today's world, people have access to abundance of information at their fingertips. The internet particularly social media, makes finding and sharing news easier and faster than ever. Social media is any website that allows social interaction and it is growing rapidly throughout the world. Using social media can have a positive impact on young adults' lives by helping them be more empathetic. Despite the positives, there are many negatives associated with social media. It can make a person more vulnerable to predators and cyber bullying. The outcomes include depression, anxiety, severe isolation and tragically even suicide. Using social media can also decrease privacy for an individual. People often give out their personal information on social media not knowing who can see it. Further, same applies with news, who knows whether it is fake or the truth.
As a consumer we have to take extra precautions to know whether or not the social site we use is reliable and truthful. Everyone should understand that the use of social media is to impact people not impress people as for now every action not just has an equal and opposite reaction but also a social media over-reaction.
