Negetive and positive impacts of social media on the right of privacy and safety

Ahh, social media, a constantly debatable way of communicating and sharing information.

Let's cover the positive aspects first:

- Safe way to communicate with people over the internet rather than in person

- Safety is looked after by community moderation and abuse teams

- New privacy options are able to secure information more thoroughly

Now, the more negative aspects:

- Privacy is never 100% guaranteed as systems can (and have been) compromised.

- Users are oblivious as to how their information is stored and then used to make money through advertising companies.

- Your information, identity and life is available for anyone to see

- Your mistakes are marked on the internet forever, posts are never truly removed

- Cyber bullying is more prominent

Social media can be used in a positive way, it's up to you as to how you protect your information and interact online.
