Here’s a question that I think many people have been wondering about social media: Is social media dangerous?  I think it’s in the middle, because many things can go wrong with social media like cyber bullying, mental disorder, privacy concerns, and predators. But social media can be very helpful, informative, and educational. I use TikTok for everything that I need help with, or am confused about. I also use TikTok to share educational things about animals. However, there should be more restrictions on social media since it can be dangerous.

For example, if you’re under 18 you shouldn’t be able to message about certain things and if you do, it would be censored, or you can’t message people that accounts are 18 and over. This is to protect young children from predators and kidnappers. Social media apps can also push using an I.D. to prove that you’re 18 and over. A lot of things can help make social media a better place for people and young children to the point where they don’t have to be bullied or harassed online for things that they do. As far as causing mental disorders, individuals just need to balance screen time with real time.
