Every coin has two side, pros and cons, so as the same to social media. It can tell us about the outside world and give us a more comprehensive understanding of the world. However, there are also bad media reports that are ignorant of conscience or tempting to deceive people. Faced with these, we only have to keep our eyes open, distinguish right from false and keep true, and reporting bad social media makes them lose their breeding ground.

It is important to consider another hypothesis that increased use of social networking sites have the possibility to related to higher self-esteem. Future research is necessary to conduct more in-depth and detailed investigation on the application of social networking sites, especially in-depth research on the usage of active social media sites.

To begin with, social media is extremely difficult to manage. It is challenging to artificially regulate the trajectory, intensity, or outcome of a virus once it has entered the body. It transforms into a tool to damage a company, which is sometimes the last thing that brand consumers want to see. For instance, if you are in a sales platform, many people will repeatedly click on their store, so that customers will mistakenly think that the store has many customers, and many people hire people to write fake good reviews for their stores. So, it is hard to judge whether it's true or not. For marketing purposes, social media may also be time consuming. To have an effective marketing campaign, you should spend as much time as possible online updating your pages with content that will keep your viewers involved and interested. This typically necessarily involves extensive research, which takes a long time. Furthermore, timely responses to members of the audience who leave comments or ask questions on your website are needed for social media marketing. All of this adds up to a large amount of time spent on social media advertising. As a result, social media has several marketing disadvantages (Harnil, Oza.2018).

Many people take advantage of social media technologies. More people are stealing, committing crimes, defrauding, or seducing others using this technology. David L. Smith used Word macros to build a computer virus that spread across Microsoft Outlook in 1998. Melissa, after a dancer, was Smith's inspiration for the name. When the recipient opens the email, the virus extracts it and sends it to 50 other recipients. The virus quickly spread after Smith posted it on the Internet. Melissa was on the front pages of newspapers all over the world by March 1999. Melissa was thought to have contaminated 15 to 20% of the world's industrial PCs at the period. The federal government has taken the virus seriously due to its rapid spread. It also forced Outlook to go into maintenance mode before the virus was removed. Smith was also given a 20-month jail term and a $5,000 fine. It was the first computer virus to make headlines around the world. Millions of dollars in damage has been estimated as a result of the "love bug virus" incident. Recognize that whenever someone wants to target you with this sort of technology, it's very challenging for us to protect against, making it easier for us to be injured. This occurrence, I believe, is well-known, and this is just one example. People may use this technology to steal other people's confidential information and assets, so it carries significant risks. We also hope that most people can improve their prevention knowledge (Geoff, White.2020).

The expansion of the Internet has a number of issues. For starters, Internet information can be both positive and negative, making it difficult to control. A number of negative news can also be shared on the Internet, as can a lot of pornographic content, as well as a lot of incorrect facts. People's writing documentation has caused considerable harm to their conscience. One of the most frightening aspects of the Internet for many families is the possibility that pornography will appear and ambush their children. However, some parents may be unaware that their children go online in search of Internet porn. Some comments or answers are permanent, and they remain on the Internet. If a malicious response is made, it causes damage to both the writer as well as the audience. Many sites have a large number of ads, which wastes a lot of time for readers, decreases the quality of people's jobs, and causes them to waste too much time waiting. According to Netsmartz411.org, an online resource dedicated to educating families about Internet security, cyberbullying comes in many forms on the Website. Trying to send hate messages and even threats of violence to children, spreading rumors about them online, making awful comments on their social networking accounts, or building a website to mock their appearance or reputation are all examples of cyber bullying. Cyberbullying differs from bullying in classrooms, according to Handy. On the Internet, teachers are unable to interfere. "No one can filter what happens online," she said. When cyber-bullies insult people, they do not really see their victims behaving the same way they have when they offend others. Handy explained, "They can't see you crying." They will be able to proceed more easily because of this. Everything that can cause damage to an internet user is called an internet risk. Physical, mental, psychological, environmental, social, and reputational harm are all possibilities. Many of the various forms of internet threats are mentioned below (Volkmann & Matthew, J.2010).

Nowadays, in people' life, social media has been the significant part, it appears when shopping, sending electronic mails, accepting education and running business(Siddiqui, S., & Singh, T. 2016). Much controversy and polarisation regarding social media over past few years has never ceased. Social media is invented for the purpose of how to know and connect with each other. As a social tool, it provides a space where people share different points, images, audio and videos, and helps to build a more open world. Diversified voice could be heard on it, which attracted more people to announce for themselves. Compare to communication in real-life, online conversation is more free and relaxing.

Human society has begun to enter the era of the network society which is marked with the new medium. Before this, there are three important views of technology in industrial society, which is humanism, pragmatism, and pan-medium technology. These three views of technology reflect and explain the relationship between human and technology, technology and society from different levels. Through the review and reflection on Heidegger, Dewey and Mcluhan's representative technology communication thoughts, it can be found that the correct understanding of the new medium technology, is to integrate the three kinds of technology views first. Second, there should be a comprehensive study on the new medium's technical characteristics and its deep logic. Ultimately, we should form a view of new medium technology which contains the dimensions of technology, space, value and culture. Only by constantly carrying on the innovation of the new medium technology views can we lead the thought revolution of the network society(WU Z, Y.2017).

Social media tends to distract us from our purpose in life because it tends to make us focus on our electronic devices rather than our real life. If we are immersed in a virtual world all the time, we will soon get bored. Dramatically increase your need for attention. The people who use social media a lot, writing vague status messages on Facebook to get people's to attention, it's easily become a bad habit. The endless race for "likes" and notifications can easily hollow people out. Many of them are caused by the frequent use of social software in mobile phones.  Social media has been used as a criminal tool by some people, for example, sexism, cyberbullying.(Ephraim, P.E., 2013).

Nowadays, people can use social networks to get some care without any conditions. They're more likely to maintain relationships, they're more likely to get motivated, and therefore they're more likely to become addicted. In addition, prolonged use of social media apps seriously affects the quality of our sleep. The potential addiction or overuse of these devices will keep us up late and prevent us from getting quality sleep. The main problem with getting your electronic devices to bed is the blue light they emit. The blue light of electronic devices signals to our brains that it is daytime. "This releases stress hormones that keep us alert and alert. Social media addiction involves getting emotional or doing strange things when you're paying attention, which can affect other people's psychology as well as your own. (Balakrishnan & Shamim, 2013). we pay more and more attention to online social networking, and we pay more and more attention to online comments. While social networking helps us maintain relationships and meet social needs, it also takes up the time of real social networking and reduces the motivation of social.

Although the current social network has a relatively secure and reliable protection system, there are still some criminals who will use some loopholes to cheat money or steal information. In addition, social networks can spread a large amount of uncertain real information. In many cases, people are unable to distinguish between the real and the fake, resulting in serious disorder, causing public panic and affecting social harmony and stability.The biggest drawback, according to all the interviewees, is Internet addiction. Studies have shown that many people feel insecure and lose social connections.(Drahošová, M. and Balco, P., 2017). Internet addiction will make people stay in their own world all the time, they will become more and more lonely. Not only that, they are likely to feel fear in the real society.
