Social impact of social media
The social impact of social media is by far the biggest, as social media work through the formation of social networks by users in a virtual world. Its most significant impact is the formation of networks which span space and time and leads to the free-flowing of cultures and formation of new cultures which impacts the world. It has impacted how people consume information, how the consumption of media has gone from public to private and personal. However, on the flip side, social media work on algorithms. The information a user gets through social media is determined by the user preferences, which is self-declared by the user and detected by the algorithm. Hence, if one is an environmentalist, then one will get news and user-generated content on environmental activism. This selective exposure of information is harmful to the user as the user is not able to get alternate perspectives, for example, the trade-off between development and the environment. In politics, this can lead to things like political polarization, being associated with a political party or ideology which is detrimental to democracy. This is also what is called the ”echo chamber” effect. Meanwhile, research has also shown evidence that social media use leads to the persuasion of political beliefs, i.e., individuals who use social media were more likely to have their political beliefs persuaded than those who did not.
