    1.CYBER
    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
     The student’s motivational level reduces due to the use
    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
    * There are numerous family
    problems due to social
    networking in the world today,
    especially with countless people of
    all ages, culture and races
    spending numerous hours
    interacting on the most popular
    social networking sites like
    Facebook , Twitter ….etc.
    *
    CONTINUE…
    . 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
