Technology and Science

Social media apps are used by an ever-increasing number of people. Their usefulness is undeniable, but there are lots of dangers in the deep sea of social media applications that are just as undeniable. Let’s take a look at the most popular social media: Instagram.

As you may recall, Instagram’s main purpose is allowing users to post photos and video call friends. However, this platform is also sometimes used to bully (or, more correctly, cyberbully) users. They insult those who they believe are “fat” but they are as skinny as they can be, or those who they consider to be “ugly” or “dumb”. Victims of this social phenomenon are largely young girls, but insults to men are also pretty common.
