BULLING
2.Higher Risks of Fraud & Identity
Theft

 Being part of a social network means understanding the

security risks that online users can face; which is identity
fraud.
 Anyone can forge a false identity on a social network &
pose as someone else. Without verification of someone’s
identity, one could befriend a complete stranger & not even
know it.
 Information posted on SNS is available to everyone -> this
opens up the possibility for hackers to commit fraud &
increase the risk of identity theft.
2.Higher Risks of Fraud & Identity
Theft(Cont.)

 Most thieves need just a few key pieces of your

personal information (date of birth, name & location)
to create a false identity.
 Without proper settings& privacy controls -> high
chance of someone stealing your private
information/photos & use it against you.
3.Lack of Privacy ( Privacy
Issue)
 Safety is at stake when you share everything online. With
so much sharing going on, issues over privacy will always be
a big concern.
 Predators (Eg: Rapists) can obtain personal information like
name,place,DOB,location etc..& easily identify where they
can find you at any given time.
 Putting yourself in danger when you share too much
personal information in SNS.
4.OTHER DISADVANTAGES
1.ADDICTION

 The most common disadvantage of

social networking sites is
addiction.
 Often users of these sites get
addicted to it. They spend hours
using these sites and it harms their
performance in other fields.
 It causes mental health problems
and sometimes it harms their body
too. Sometimes user provides their
personal information to others
which is insecure.
2.LOSS OF MOTIVATION IN
STUDENTS

of these social networking sites. They rely on the virtual
environment instead of gaining practical knowledge
from the real world.
 Students have started relying more on the information
accessible easily on these social networking sites
and the web. This reduces their learning and research
capabilities.
3.MENTAL AND PHYSICAL
PROBLEMS
4.SOCIAL MEDIA AND FAMILY
PROBLEMS

problems due to social
networking in the world today,

. Family problems due to social networking
arise when it becomes difficult for children
to learn the proper social skills, which are
vital to our day to day living in the ‘real’
world.
 Poor communication leads to
relationship problems,
 Social networking makes you lazy and
obese, which is not good for your health, as
you prefer spending your hours sitting in
front of your computer or laptop, chatting or
surfing the Internet.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND CYBER
CRIMES
 Identity theft is
the key threat to many
social media users, as millions of
online users use their personal
information in order to getting
registered with one or more social
media platforms. Such huge
information with personal data of so
many people is one of the easiest
targets for many cyber criminals
Important Facts About Social
Networking.
In 2013, a study showed that 79% of all adults in the
United States had at least one social network profile.
• 2.1 billion people in the world have social media
accounts.
• Mobile phones now make up 72% of internet traffic
to these sites.
• 70 million photos and videos are uploaded to Instagram
every single day, and that is a number that is steadily
rising.
• Nearly 50% of all Twitter users have never sent a tweet.
 CONCLUSION
 We can see clearly that social networking sites
are advantageous only if they are used wisely.
Using these sites would be helpful, if users do
not spend time unnecessarily.
 Wise members never provide personal
information to strangers. Use of a tool depends
on users. A doctor can operate with a knife
and a murderer can kill a person with the
same knife
IS SOCIAL MEDIA IS HARMFUL TO
SOCIETY? IT’S UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL, WE NEED
TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN SAFETY
