Ethical use of social media means being respectful, honest, and being responsible of your own actions when online.
It means being transparent with what you want and not purposefully misleading someone for your own personal gain.
Also you should be respectful of other peoples personal privacy on social media. This means that if you post a photo
you should ask the other people if you have their permission. Not only that if you do post the photo you shouldn't hide
or ghost the person when it comes time to face the music, but instead take responsibility and take down the post.

Social Media platforms hold the important data of many millions of people and they help secure that with features such
as 2fa, and monitoring unusual activity. However there are concerns with Social Media platforms mismanaging their user's
data and even selling it to third party platforms. Privacy on Social Media can also be violated by users. For example when
someone appears in the background of your photo without their consent.

Social can impact its users very significantly, from very positive to very negative. While it can be a source of entertainment
and a place to learn from, it is also a place that attributes to issues like depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and social comparison.
When social media is used too much it can lead to addiction because of the dopamine that social media provides. It can also act
as a distraction from more important tasks. Social media has an ethical responsibility to answer to these concerns, and some do by
using reminders of how much time a user has spent.

Social media excels at spreading information at an incredibly fast pace. Before the invention of online news platforms, people
relied on newspapers or television broadcasts for their daily news. Methods that were reliable and trustworthy, but were often
slow and inconvenient. With the rise of social media, news can now reach millions of people instantly, but this speed
also increases the risk of spreading false information. The ethical implications of spreading false news are serious as it means
you are lying and manipulating audiences on purpose. However, people on social media often work together to destroy and report
fake news accounts, this helps ensure news on social media is helpful and reliable.

Social media has the ability to both isolate and connect different types of people. While it has the ability to allow users to stay in
touch with friends and family while they're away, it also has the ability to isolate you. This happens when you have excessive
use of social media because it weakens your real-life bonds. Ethical considerations like respect, empathy, and citizenship are often
overlooked on social because of the anonymity. This is a problem because it can make you act unfavorably and distastefully.
This is why it is essential to always have your morals when on social media.
