Reflections on social websites


As we know, in the last years the technology has changed a lot, also, in the applications like the social websites, where nowadays most of the people have an account in webs like instagram, twitter, facebook...

But are those websites secure? In this article I'm going to write about the advantages, disadvantages, "false friends", cyber bullying of these websites.

Those websites can be safe in many aspects, for example: if somebody asks you to follow you, you can accept or block the permission, so he/she can't see your comments, photos, videos...
Also, you can see and comment the photos and videos of your friends, you can publish pictures of yourself or with somebody so people can see and comment on them.

 Besides, you can make new friends by this media, however, making new friends can be a problem if you haven never met them face to face, because, a lot of people do false profiles and they lie about their age and aspect, they can hound (harrass) you saying that you can't stop speaking with them and more things... What's more, people can publish a photo where you appear, without your permission, they can upload it to internet where everybody can see it, people that follow you and people that don't follow you.


In addition, on the internet there is bullying like in the real life, called cyber bullying, this happens when people use electronic media to do bullying to other people and intimidate them. Examples of cyber bullying include text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures videos websites or fake profiles.

In conclusion, the internet is much dangerous than people think, so, we have to be careful with this new media, because it can hurt somebody psychologically.
