Answer:
Social media is a new phenomenon worldwide and is here to stay. Social media has enabled people to be connected in real time and is bringing out new facets of people interest, engagement and behaviour.
From trivia to disasters, information reaches people as it happens and is keeping them engaged like never before. But how they express or react thereafter, makes social media a double-edged sword. Just yesterday, the plight of a young schoolboy from a poor family, sitting outside a Noida metro station, trying to earn some money through a weighing scale and studying at the same time, caught a commuter’s attention. He took a picture and uploaded on Facebook, which went viral. In response, there have been several people who have come forward to help, including the U.P Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who has promised to ensure full opportunity for the boy to study without having to work. While this may be an example of the positive impact of social media, the negative side is also gaining ground, perhaps dangerously.

Misuse of Social Media
In spite of the fact that social media is a great tool for information but have been misused by people at large. This technology is doing more harm than good. Social media is not only misused or abused by students but are also by businessmen, employees, etc. While talking about the abuse, politics comes into mind. Social media is as prone to misuse as your computer is to the virus.”[3] Justice Katju stated in the letter to the broadcasting ministry that a new practice has been started to defame people, community, religion, etc. through social media.
Some misuses that are associated with the social media are:
Defamation: The most affected people through social media are politicians and celebrities. They are the breed which has been punished brutally by social media. People got another medium to express their anger and to defame them through tweeting or by other social networking sites. The click of the like button on the Facebook can lead your action as absurd, and this can make you liable for the crime of social media abuse.
False and unreliable information: Apart from defamation, there is increasing misuse of the social networking sites. People make fake email accounts of celebrities and spread untrue stories about them. In fact, people hack the accounts of different users at homes and “accessing the private life of others, leading to the relationship woes and divorce.[4]”
Sexual Predators: The social media is an open door to predators, it means that through social media, an individual can do anything to harm others. For example, the most common scenario when a man of 42 years make an email account using fake name and picture of 16 years old boy, communicate to others and ask them to meet in person. Due to this kind of predators, many of the children are victims of online sexual solicitation. Other than sexual predators, there is another kind of social abuse that is cyber bullying.
Cyberbullying: Cyberbullying is the act of bullying by harming or harassing using electronic technology. There are many ways of cyber bullying but the most common way to bully a person is to add users to the bullies account and begins to bully in the way of harassing the user through teasing, derogatory remarks, etc. The other way to bully a person is to write defamatory remarks on Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, etc. bullies on the internet are less likely to get into trouble as there can be fake name and picture on the bullies on the playground.
Loss of Privacy: Social media can easily be misused by employees. The employees make awful remarks and post inappropriate material in anger if the employer is over-react and dismiss the employees. Even the employees’ comments damage the reputation of the company so disciplinary action can be taken against the employees for the breach of social media policy. When it is clear that the employers are becoming aware of these situations, then it is not possible for the employees to complain that the material was private and is infringing their right to privacy. The survey was held, and it showed the area where misuse of social media had taken place:
Firstly, misuse of confidential information (80%)
Secondly, misrepresenting views of the employer (71%)
Thirdly, inappropriate non-business use (67%)
Fourthly, disparaging remarks about the employers or other employees (64%)
Fifthly, harassment (64%)
