The Cruel Side of Social Media
The continuing evolution of social media, where Facebook continues dominate in terms of users, while doing much good can be equally as cruel to those using Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and others.
Everyone’s experiences hinge on how the service is used, with many using social media to offer an unkind word, or spread messages of hate.
ZoneAlarm, in the infographic below, brings to light the (excuse the pun) alarming trends facing teens using social media:
“Teens today are immersed in the Web and, more specifically, on social media sites. As more relationships are built and maintained through social networking sites, kids are encountering a growing number of unkind peers. Are parents seeing this and becoming more connected and involved in their kids’ online lives?”
