Social media has transformed the way we communicate, share information, and connect with others. From Twitter to Facebook to Instagram, these platforms have become powerful tools for individuals and organizations to make their voices heard and drive change in the world. If something like a 16 second video can turn someone’s life around for the better, then the things social media can do are unfathomable.

While it is often criticized for spreading misinformation and promoting negativity, social media has also been used to effect real change and spread messages of hope, support, and solidarity. Using social media effectively entails taking some responsibility for how you use it. Geopolitical boundaries should not limit people’s
awareness of its effects, and there is still no strong legal system in place to hold those who misuse social media accountable.
