Social Media and Postive Change
There are over 3.78 billion social media users worldwide spread across numerous social media platforms. From Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and now even Tik-Tok. Social media has its place, and many associates it with community, staying in touch with friends and family from a distance. Staying in touch has proved vital during this pandemic, where lockdowns were widespread across the nation and the world. Social media is just what it says, a way to be social across various digital media devices. We all need social interaction, and if we can’t have in-person meetups, then digital will have to do. Who wouldn’t love to be on for hours catching up with family and watching videos of kids, grandkids, and sons and daughters?

It ends up looking like companies like Facebook and Twitter are the “evil empire” and trying to push an agenda.
