Author(s):

Abstract:

Social media has a significant impact on society, although it can provide benefits in different ways, there are many negative effects that it causes to its users. The intensive use of these sites can affect the mental and physical health of users, such as increased levels of anxiety, depression, isolation from society that leads to weak social relationships, lack of physical activity, poor ability to perceive time, reduced learning time, and decreased ability to perform at work. All of these things are considered indicators of addiction. There may also be the possibility of promoting false information and rumors, especially since the "Tik Tok" application includes technology that allows for swapping faces and making videos with fake faces, which allows the possibility of promoting these rumors. Therefore, parents, teachers and stakeholders must understand the extent of the impact of social media on the members of society and help them manage the use of these sites wisely and with appropriate supervision, as well as encouraging the development of social, emotional and health skills outside the digital environment.
