Negative influences of Instagram

The aim of this blog is to inform readers who are interested in this topic about various issues connected with it. Social media in general has a great impact on today’s society and influence people in many ways. I chose Instagram and its negative effects because I am convinced that it affects the youth significantly. They spend an incredible amount of time scrolling through their feed and the things they see, like, share or post somehow shape their point of view and values as well. Furthermore, there are some dangers when it comes to Instagram; people do not value their privacy and therefore anyone can have a look into their life, some people believe strangers who contact them and this can lead to severe consequences. Moreover, children and teenagers often do not realize that what they see may not be the actual reality, but just a reflection of what people want to make it look like.

What the Experts Say II

Social media is an open forum where everyone can be creative and permits us to be heard. It provides certain individuals the opportunity to reach wider audiences, crating an online community and space for a discussion. Instagram is well-known social media for sharing pictures and thoughts and its main concern is to have users post appropriate content which does not violate its norms. The common idea is that you should not post a picture which you would not show to your children, boss or parents. This includes nudity or mature content and violence. However, there are different degrees of censorship to control the portrayal of male and female bodies.

Photos of Kim Kardashian West’s bottom are allowed to stay, while female nipples or other bare body parts which do not belong to her or other famous people are considered to be inappropriate and taken do...
