Social media is a form of online communication that has become a popular 
way to make and maintain new and existing relationships. It is an internet-based way 
to publicly share ideas, opinions, thoughts, and information using computer-based 
technology. People that use it are quickly able to exchange things such as: personal 
information, documents, articles, files, videos, reviews, and photos. This interaction 
is made easier through the creation of virtual networks. People use various devices, 
like computers, tablets, gaming devices, or smart phones via web-based software or 
applications to share their content on-line. Today around seven-in-ten Americans 
use social media to connect with one another, engage with news content, share 
information, and entertain themselves. 
Most platforms or applications require the creation of a user profile to access, 
play, or publish to sites. Profiles include basic information to identify the user, for 
example the user’s name, photo, location, contact information, a password, and any 
personal details that the user is willing to share. "A social profile also displays 
information that helps to understand the type and strength of an individual’s 
relationships with others; like their level of participation and contribution in different 
initiatives, projects, communities, or conversations; their reputation among other 
participants, and so on." 
Because social media is a means of mass communication (broadcasting, 
publishing, and the internet) it is akin to newspapers, television, and radio in its 
ability to reach people. However, social media often does not have the same 
guidelines, standards, security protections, government regulations, or legal 
requirements as these other forms of media. Its use has raised unresolved issues 
related to the constitutional right of freedom of speech, censorship, corporate 
responsibility, and the ownership of intellectual property.

Unfortunately, social media can also have negative impacts which are 
unhealthy and sometime downright dangerous. Because of how public the access 
can be, social media is vulnerable to invasions of privacy, misinformation, misuse, 
and malicious intent and/or code on a global basis. 
Radicalization, stalking, identity theft, personal attacks, cancelling, phishing, 
social media addiction, and misuse of information are some risks and negative 
impacts faced by social media users. Much of the time, users themselves are 
responsible as they share content that should not be in the public eye. The confusion 
arises from a lack of understanding of how private and public elements of online 
profiles work. Improper use can result in irreparable damage to one’s reputation or 
self-esteem. Other times in situations with intentional misinformation the goal is to 
deliberately mislead, defame, and/or provide questionable/false information. And 
there are social media platforms specifically designed to promote hate speech, 
unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, hoaxes, and cause political polarization.
