 There are millions of fake accounts there on social media. They simply use
random photos and data to wear the identity of the given person. This kind of
goons can lead one to dangerous situations.

 Over exposure of personal data, photos, location, check-ins, videos are
hampering our privacy.
 Yes, you may counter that there are privacy setting and all but do you think
all those teenagers understands all intricate settings. Not all people on
Facebook are tech-savvy.
 Cyberstalker and bullies use this information to harass and blackmail the
users. They threaten user to make their private, photos, videos on social
network sites and ask then to do things which user don’t want to do. This is
one of the biggest concerns of parent nowadays.

Anxiety)
 Too much exposure to each other life on social media sites sometimes leads to
Fear of Missing Out.
 Sometimes we start comparing us with other’s achievement and feel
underachieved.
 Some can take it as a positive thing and build our own achievement but in
most of the cases we envy their achievement and undervalue ourselves.
 Now things which used make you happy will no more make you happy. You
constantly want more and more. And if someone not able to achieve it then
they go into depression, harm themselves or sometimes even kill themselves.

 Yes, technology solves problems, brings new opportunities but there is a dark
side to it too.
Like any other technology, social media network is also exploited by bad people.
You will always find two types of people good and bad. They are there in the real
world too. Then should we blame technology or we should blame bad human
intentions? These sites don’t force us to join them, we do it voluntarily, we agree
to tot their terms and conditions without reading them. We don’t setup the
correct privacy setting, we put each small detail on social media on own no one
force us to do that. I will conclude that, it’s up to us why and how to social
media platforms to our advantage and the same time be safe from bad guys.
