In a world where digital engagement evolves faster than a scroll on Facebook or Tiktok, one innovation stands at the center of both excitement and fear. Social Media. For many, it’s a helpful companion for entertainment, it’s ready to entertain you with videos, generate content, or assist you in times of need. For others, it worries them, especially when some suspicious activities enter the conversation. But beyond the debates, one truth stands clear, social media can be a powerful ally, as long as we choose to use it wisely. In today’s times, internet penetration in the Philippines’s rate has been skyrocketed with a significant percentage of the population active using the internet. With just a few clicks, you can now socialize in media. It offers explanations in short-form videos, simplifies it to your understanding, and even gives creative sparks when your ideas start to fade in a form of content. It’s like having a 24/7 tutor, entertainer, and a virtual buddy, it is an all-in-one tool. But here lies the real angle, social media is not a place for misinformation. It’s also not meant to steal your Data Privacy or Steal your information. Instead, it serves as a place, an escape from reality, designed to enhance your social skills via Media, not being uncomfortable with the stealing. People who use social media responsibly discover that it strengthens their social skills virtually. It helps them interact with other people virtually, teaches them new ways of socializing, and allows them to explore other people more deeply. When used correctly, social media unlocks the chance to become more creative, more socially active, and more confident in expressing ideas virtually. Far from damaging privacy, it encourages free-will to express yourself virtually, even if there is a screen the way. However, misusing social media comes with consequences. Stealing information and selling it without understanding it may give temporary comfort, but sacrifices your freedom and honesty. Honesty isn’t just a rule, it’s a reflection of your character. Social Media cannot protect that for you, it is against you with many various social media activists that are always investigating.
