    Social media is not the same as the Internet, is it? We still have news websites, e.g. websites of newspapers and TV channels, which offer decent and usually checked information. You don't have to rely on social media for news.

Why are conspiracy theories so popular?

      Conspiracy theories are so popular because of our fears. For instance, there is a conspiracy theory that claims climate change is in fact not real and the concept of it was created for financial purposes. The reason why people believe in this theory is because the thought of climate changes that will eventually lead to a disaster of us and our planet is terrifying. We rather live in denial, thinking climate change doesn't exist than face it and try to fight it. Other very popular conspiracy theory is that people shouldn't get the covid vaccine because it contains a chip that will allow the government to control us. This theory exists because people were so afraid to get vaccinated that they created an excuse so they don't have to do it. Concluding, conspiracy theories are very popular because they're a way for us to avoid doing things that scare us.

How social media puts you out to identity theft?

       Millions of people experience online identity theft every year. Mostly it comes from the lack of knowledge on how to protect your identity or the lack of awareness of the danger that is connected with social media sites. Personalized, targeted advertisements on social media sites  are all based on personal information people give out to the platforms when signing up. These platforms are highly at risk of cyber attacks which puts you out to identity theft. Many people not realize how much important information they carelessly hand out to social media sites and potentially to a criminal that will use it against you. It has become so usual and normal to us to provide personal data like our full name, date of birth, relationship status, interest or home town on our profiles that we forgot to notice how dangerous it can be. It is important to know how to properly use social media when there is our privacy and security at stake.   source: https://www.e...

Iran protests

     It has been 10 nights of protests that are now going on in Iran. On Septemebr 16 a 22-year-old woman – Mahsa Amini – have fallen victim to police brutality. She was detained because she didn’t wear a hijab properly. The protests are becoming more and more extreme each day. At least 41 people have died since the beginning of protesting, mostly civilians but also security forces.  In my opinion poeple are rightfully protesting. It has come to a point where someone can lose their life for simply existing without hurting anyone. It is so unfair that some people think they can hurt another human being just because they don’t like something about them. We as a society has grown tired of inequality and all the suffering that is happening in the world so naturally we’re now trying to do something about it. If there’s even a tiny chance that it’ll make a difference then i think it’s a right thing to do and we should keep on doing that. source: https://www.theguardian.com...
