 Social Media Platform Main Use/Objective

The effectiveness of a social media application can be measured

by its validity, which is defined as the rate of reposting or sharing of
photos, pieces of information, or ideas published in one’s social
media profile or page.
There are instances that you need to validate the credibility and
truthfulness of an information. In order to assess the legitimacy of a
certain information, there are safety standards that you must apply.

Cite instance/s when you had encountered a misleading/fake

news. What are the safety standards that you have taken in
order to validate its legitimacy? Explain your answer briefly.

ICT has been providing great impact in education, agriculture,

business, medicine, etc. Communication has been made easier for
everyone. By the use of ICT, you can connect with your family,
colleagues, and friends even if you were several miles apart by using
e-mail, messenger, or video conferences.

How does ICT help people to grow business? What are

the applications and online platforms needed?

According to Reference.com, “ICT is used primarily to speed

up the communications networks in a corporation in addition to a
variety of other activities. According to the BBC, this makes it an
integral part of the decision-making process for many different
corporate entities. Companies using this technology have access to
efficient and reliable record-keeping tools. It also allows for the
efficient and selective spreading of messages between different
groups of employees.”
Smartphone, computer, telephone, and other
devices that are used to locate, save,
communicate, and inform us by means of
technology is called Empowerment
Technology. This technology helps us
connect with other easily. Technologies such
as the Internet, personal computers and

 wireless telephony have turned the globe into an increasingly
interconnected network of individuals, firms, schools and

the use of Empowerment Technology and internet.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen

parallel outbreaks of disinformation and misinformation about the
virus, ranging from fake coronavirus cures, false claims and harmful
health advice to wild conspiracy theories. Disinformation can in turn
speed up the spread of disease, hinder effective public health
responses, as well as create confusion, fear and distrust.

 Facebook reports nearly 50 million pieces of content related to
COVID-19 had to be flagged in April with warning label for
disinformation, while Twitter challenged more than 1.5 million
users for spreading false information and displaying “manipulative
behaviours” during the same month. Close to 18 million scam
emails about the coronavirus are being blocked by Google on Gmail.

With the problem that we are facing today like the COVID-19,
compare and contrast the nuances of varied online platforms, sites,
and content to best achieve specific class objectives or to address
situational challenges using a Venn diagram.

There are several platforms and applications used by different

corporation in their businesses. One of these is blog sites.
A blog is a type of website where the content is presented in
reverse chronological order (newer content appear first). Blog
content is often referred to as entries or “blog posts”.
Blogs are typically run by an individual or a small group of
people to present information in a conversational style. However,
