1. My favorite newspaper

I was given the task of writing a text on the subject of my favorite newspaper. But unfortunately, I don’t read newspapers. Newspapers will contain news, various rumors, astrological predictions and similar information. But not all the information in it is useful. In general, a person can live a lifetime without reading a newspaper. He may even live without being aware of the news. My personal opinion is that it is better to spend the time spent reading a newspaper to get more useful knowledge, religious knowledge, secular knowledge.

Modern social networking sites are not just about connecting and sharing information, such platforms are being used for many different purposes. Most people are still using social media for “social purpose” while many are using for the business purpose.

Though the usages and user behavior in different social media sites may differ, there are common advantages and disadvantages of all social networking sites or social media platforms. For example, there are more advantages for photographers or artists using Instagram while he/she may not get more benefits or attention on Twitter. Similarly,  a journalist or author may have many pros of using Twitter.

Disadvantages of Social Networking Sites

Like any other tool available for humans, Social Media Websites also have many disadvantages if you do not use consciously. It's no secret that there's also a dark side to social networking.

• Increased Feelings of Social Isolation

 Since people are now connected all the time and you can pull up a friend's social profile with a click of your mouse or a tap of your smartphone, it's a lot easier to use online interaction as a substitute for face-to-face interaction. Some people argue that social media actually promotes antisocial human behavior.

• Sedentary Lifestyle Habits and Sleep Disruption 

Lastly, since social networking is all done on some sort of computer or mobile device, it can sometimes promote too much sitting down in one spot for too long. Likewise, staring into the artificial light from a computer or phone screen at night can negatively affect your ability to get a proper night's sleep.

• Mental Illness

Social networking sites are linked to increased risk of mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Too much time spent scrolling through social media can result in symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. Teenager’s mental health is often negatively affected by this culture of comparison as well.

• Misleading Information

This is probably the most challenging problem for social media companies. Fake news and misleading information can go viral in no time on social media platforms. On Facebook, more than 80% of people who react on the link do not read the complete article or content. Due to which many publishers and spammers are misusing the platforms by sharing fake and misleading information.

• Hacking

Most of the users of social media sites are not fully aware of the security measures they need to take care of while using social media platforms. People share thoughts, personal experience, photos, etc on social media sites. Such information can be helpful for hackers to hack your accounts in social media, emails, or even your mobile phone.
