ABSTRACT The phrase "social media" is used to describe a wide range of digital platforms that allow users to publish, distribute, and debate user-generated material. In order to better understand how social media has affected our society, we'll be breaking it down into its component parts. Numerous studies have revealed both positive and harmful results from frequent social media use. Increases in social engagement and communication, educational opportunities, and access to health-related information are all positive outcomes. Increases in mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as criminal behavior like catfishing, bullying, and even terrorist acts, are just some of the negative effects of social media on communities. To a large extent, positive results may be expected when individuals use social media for the correct reasons and to accomplish their goals. Organizations with a stake in this issue should work together to limit any negative effects and maximize any positive ones.
