What is it about social media that everyone loves? Is it the connection to others from the past to the present? The means to share your life with loved ones who may live a far. There are many reasons people utilize social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and even Tik Tok. This is the very reason that companies utilize these platforms to reach many potential customers. Companies can reach millions of people, but at what cost?
Social media can be an extremely bad influence on young viewers and target certain demographics in hopes to make that sale. The goal of that sale may be at the cost of young lives, humiliation and self-image. Facebook and Tik Tok, for example, allows users as young as thirteen to create an account. Tik Tok attracts these young users and in a way, exploits them which can result in detrimental behavioral effects. Tik Tok is highly successful China based platform and attracts many advertisers to their platform. They utilize Facebook and Tik Tok because of the influential users. So how can a company support such exploitation just to earn a profit? I believe young influential effect. I believe adolescents should not be able to create accounts and companies should have some respect and ethical standards and advertise elsewhere, as to not support such platforms. What are your thougths?
