You choose what to consume on social networks. You decide what is relevant for you to read and share. I am not against all these struggles and protests. I do not agree to do so violently and against human rights. Everyone has an opinion; my opinion cannot be as accurate as yours. It's my life, my rules. Guys, my advice, don't consume much news. Peace and love. Use social media to grow your business, to share valuable information, to share your knowledge. Don't gossip, and don't be mean. I like using Facebook; I want to follow people on Instagram, people that inspire me. That's why I choose precisely people that follow me on my Instagram account through [famoid.com] app. Real followers that would share my values and my points of view.

I think social media can exacerbate problems that have existed long before social media existed. Various studies have indicated that social media is making us sadder, angrier, less empathetic, more fearful, more isolated and more tribal Of course this doesn't automatically push everyone that uses social media over the edge into completely awful behaviors, but it may give many just that little extra nastiness to create a significant negative impact.

no. i don't agree at all. i think social media has just given it a platform, as it gives everything a platform, including the fight AGAINST misogyny. the right wing has elevated misogyny to new levels of real violence, as if the levels weren't high, real and violent enough before. men are not killing their girlfriends and wives more because of social media. they're killing them more because the people who have been in power are misogynist and encourage such attitudes.
