| All social networking sites have its own disadvantages |
As we all know that social media is a useful tool for communicating and engaging with other people, for businesses as well it is a great tool to use in communicating with its target audiences. Even though that is the case, social media also does have its disadvantages.
One of the most disadvantages of social networks is privacy and protection; this is disadvantageous because most social networks always come up with problems of people getting involved in things like rape, murder, kidnaping, stalking etc. We all know that when creating an account of a particular social network people want to have many friends so they just add or accept any people without thinking and even maybe getting more information about that individual.
There are also other disadvantages besides this but we not getting in detail with them, include:
· Negative comments whether as a business or an individual
· It takes effort to gain credibility online.
· Social networks can be addictive
By looking at the safety issue in a communications point of view, we all know that these social networking sites do have their policies on safety but such things still happen. People on the other hand are still ignorant about their safety when they are in these sites. Who is to blame in this issue? Did social networks put these policies just for the sake of it or are people being ignorant?
People have lost the objective of social media indeed. they are uncloth and insensitive in most cases.
ReplyDeletei must say i agree with Ntombi, people are really losing, we cant blame social media either way, its people that are just ignorant
ReplyDeletelike what happened to me someone hacked my account on Facebook and my twitter handle keeps on sending me things that I do not understand where they come from but thankfully everything is all good now. But Ntombi is right hey it lost its objective.
ReplyDeletedont you think we should not place soo much trust in social media as the expression goes 'do not put all your eggs in one basket'' to avoid total dependency on it.
ReplyDeleteYes I think so too, I mean you cannot really put all your trust on it because of the disadvantages that i have mentioned. People just need to be extra careful.
