The Negatives of Social Media to Human Rights

As the digital age continues to emerge, more and more people are depending on their life as how they see it on social media.

Indeed, results in people trying to act someone else because social media made them that way.

A lot of people are also get bullied because they are somehow not social media darling ideal. Which is ridiculous. This is why a lot of people are trying to get in with what’s new on social media.

Indeed, help came immediately.
