Internet and Social Media: Allies or Enemies?

Over the years, We have seen the Internet grow from a place where we contact friends and family, meet new people, research, and have fun. 

In the past social media, was a safe haven where you could share your views without getting maximum criticism and insults for it.

Social Media was not meant to create problems in our society or create diversity among people, but as usual, Humans always seem to cause problems no matter the situation.

" Everything that has an advantage has a disadvantage, but this only comes to be when Humans interfere."

I have said it before, and I will repeat it, Humans are the problem with the world. Anything we touch seems to cause harm, and no matter how much you try to lie to yourself, thats just the truth.

For example, we will use social media!!

When you think of Social media, what comes to your mind?

For me, what comes to my mind is Politics, Fake News, and Useless Arguments!!

You can literally see this on social media, " I hate all Men," which gets 100k likes, and when you check the comments, you will see people supporting this idea.

I was checking some posts, and I literally saw a group selling guns and children to people interested; I dont know if this is real, but if it is, then there is a severe problem with society.

How can you be advertising children online and selling them? Are these people even human? 

I don't think humans understand that our main enemy is not animals but ourselves.

I felt curious this week for some reason, and I came across "Dark Web".

I have heard of it before, but I never really felt interested, maybe because I was scared.

But I summed up courage and did some research, and Oh, did I find so many things up in there.

I won't disclose what I saw for safety, but I still know many things are happening on the Internet, and we are not even aware.

Let me just say this, "Dark Web" is the most violent, illegal, and inhumane place that you will wonder if they are real humans.

The dark web has flourished due to the cryptocurrency we all know and love, which is "Bitcoin."

I know some of you are wondering what I saw but let me just list some things out

-Buying Logging credentials to $50,000 Bank accounts

-Drug Trafficking

-Human Trafficking

-Terrorist Killings

-Torture 

There are many more, but this will be a very long article if I keep it ongoing.

Why is the Internet being used for such savage acts? I mean, why would you release a video of cutting a man's body in half with a chainsaw? They wrote "Art" below, but I don't know how that is even considered art.

The real question is, how did I watch it? But that is a story for another day.

Why is the Dark Web not taken down by the Government or Google? Personally, I think both stand a chance to gain something by allowing such activities to go on, but let's look at the facts.

The Government has so many servers that run down the dark web. If we ignore all the dark web's wrong sides, you may find standard groups such as the Chess Club.

The "Dark Web" may be Inhumane, but you can only view this site if you are interested, if you know what I mean. 

Just like how you can't remove crime from society, you can't remove the dark web from the Internet. There is always light in the darkness; removing the dark web would be like removing it because it is also a part of the Internet, and the Government benefits from it.

Let's take another example Problems of the Internet: Social Media!!

I am sure we all know what "Social media" is, and we are all on few platforms here and there.

Just like I wrote before, I have not seen a place more deceptive and fake such as "Social media," especially with the new craze called "Tiktok."

I am sure we have all seen a couple of Tiktokers on our screen dancing and doing all sorts of weird things.

Some of us may have even joined in all the craze and done our own weird stuff, I am not judging anyone, but when I look at Tiktok and how it is consuming and ruining young peoples lives, it really makes me wonder if Social media should have been created in the first place.

There are so many trends on the platform, some are funny and nice, but some are just sick and twisted. 

Just imagine a young lady flirting with an old man so she can call the police on him and get him arrested for harassment and call it a prank!! I know some of them may be rehearsed, but people don't know the things that may be going on in other people's minds.

Some people dont even know if it is accurate or not, and when they see the number of views this trend gets, they go out and do their own. 

Regardless of other people's well-being or opinions just for fame and popularity, these individuals create crazy trends that do no benefit to society.

Will the Internet and Social Media be the downfall of "HUMANS," or will we find a way out of this? 

Conclusion

What do you think will happen in the future? Will we ever get over these issues of the modern age or be consumed by them?

I don't think Humanity is ready to enter the next age because we haven't conquered the problems of our current age.

Imagine if we go to Mars, it may be a new planet, but it is still the same "Humans".

We ruined Earth. It will only take a matter of time before we completely destroy it.
