People are so busy in social media that they don’t give time to their family, friends and even important tasks. Social media has badly affected our ability to concentrate on our work while also deteriorating purposeful hobbies such as book reading. Fake accounts which often engage in spreading fake news is just one among many harmful effects of social media’s irresponsible use. Last but not the least, terrorist groups and organisations are also using social media to their advantage, recruiting youngsters for terrorist activities. Hence, awareness about the responsible use of social media must be spread among its users.
