Social Media Websites and Harmful Information. Nowadays, millions of individuals have various social media accounts. Whether it's Facebook, Twitter, or any other website that allows you to interact socially, many of us have more than one. Having a social media account allows you to do countless things, chat with friends and family, keep up to date with your work and business or just watch hilarious videos. One can find many useful and ingenious things on these sites, but one can also find harmful information posted by others. There must be someone responsible for putting this information online, and social media providers should not be legally responsible for harmful information on their sites. Because this is unreasonable for someone who is responsible for the faults of others, it causes interference with the user's privacy, and the user should be aware of the possible results. In order for someone to understand the mistake they made, you cannot hold social media sites responsible for damages. information that they have not published. Doing this would not allow the original poster to see the consequences of what they are doing and why it is wrong. In our everyday lives, if someone did something that deserves punishment, for example a student punching someone at school, should the student who threw the punch be held responsible or the teacher who allowed him to leave the class? Shifting blame from someone who deserves it and putting it on a social networking site will make users oblivious to their bad actions. the common sense of thinking about possible outcomes before releasing them into the virtual world. The social network provider cannot therefore be legally responsible for harmful information on its sites. Works Cited Auletta, Ken. Google.
