Social Media Regulation

Social media has become a new language of internet-driven society. With the affordability of information communication technology (ICT) for many people, social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube and TikTok have become pervasive. Almost everyone having a basic knowledge of using smartphones have been connected to one or another social media apps. Discernibly, the social media has drastically changed the way people communicate with their fellow beings. The social media has not only become a viable means of interaction between two persons, but has also become an indispensable tool in business, politics and academic realms. One significant impact is that the people are well informed about the issues of public importance. The speeches of political leaders or the decisions of their parties are immediately circulated via the social media, generating greater amount of feedback from the viewers. But as the proverb goes, every coin has two facets and the social media also has its pros and cons.
