INTRODUCTION
Growing the use of social media has bridge the gap between the people as they get any
information about anything at anytime. The merits of these social platforms are limitless but
apart from merits, there are many demerits also which has caused negativity and violence into
the countries and societies (Carmichael, Koumou and Moran, 2015). The report discuss about
why the government has to impose policies and regulations upon the working of these sites and
what are the impacts these social media platform companies has to face due to this.
TASK 1
Summarize the rising global social media firms such as facebook, twitter and Instagram, face
from proposed or actual government regulation and explain the possible impact this could have
on the firm.
The media has consider has a strong source for information, many social sites such as
facebook, twitter, timbler and so on distributes the information, opinions, ideas, viewpoints for
people around the globe. All these social platform plays a very paramount role in spreading the
new. It has many benefits such as quick information, sharing of information or ideas, grabbing
more knowledge and many more. Besides all the advantages people and the government gets
from social platform, there are many disadvantages or demerits of using these platforms and
form these disadvantages has forced the government to put some restrictions upon these platform
policies and regulations. Some of the demerits of these social media platforms were:
Negative influencing of people: Government has noticed many groups or people who
influenced the general people through their posts or stories. They put negative influences upon
them which results into negative thoughts and aggressive actions of the people. By following on
such posts or the stories, the general public thought get more attracted towards them which
causes aggressive and violent behavior of the public. For example there were many political
parties which were in anti of the ruling parties, to influence the people against them these anti
parties used to post negative thoughts and videos which were against the ruling party. Such
activity brings more aggression and hates among the people and they start a rivalry against the
government which harms both the public and the government (Cong and Oosterlee, 2016).
Another example can be terrorist groups who negatively influences the young people and these
young people gets so influenced by their posts or status that they joined their groups and become
one of them.
Sharing of information: These social platform sites take the personal information of the person
who is using their sites. They save their information and then use it for various purposes. For
example the President Trump before elections the uses the information of public to know their
behavior and the needs they want to get fulfilled. Through these Trump regulates its campaigns
motives which attract these people. Sharing of personal information about a person without its
permission is totally a illegal work.

After putting rules and regulations of these social platform sites, these company did faces
various issues and some of them are as follows:
Changing of working structure: These companies after has to change their operational
structure according to the needs and demand of the countries in which they have opened their
sites. These companies have to mould their policies and regulations according to the different
countries regulations which is comparatively a hard and confusing task.
Curbing the liberty to work: After posing the regulations upon these companies these
companies have somewhere lost the freedom to work as before. Now there operations and
activities are been viewed and have curb by the government. They don’t have much freedom to
work as they have to operate in regard with government regulations.
CONCLUSION
From the report presented above the reasons of putting regulations upon these social media
platform has been mentioned along with the impact of this upon the companies has also been
included.

trading partners. Financial market in the country regulates the market of whole world as being a
strongest economy. All the trading which are performs into the markets are done in dollars. The

economy. There are some policies which are formed by the US government which has impacted
the other countries economy, some are as follows:
Trading policies: As the market of the US is very huge and they have a very strong connection
in the market, therefore any change into their policies can creates barriers for the other countries

who were the trading partners with US. The US government post some regulations related to the
trading which strict the trading of US from other countries. The policies which were made
caused problem for the countries such as China, India and US.
Immigration: The president Trump has posted the restriction on immigration which has caused
the barriers in migration of people outside of US into the US for business, jobs, studies and much
more. As the country has strict barriers to the immigration, it has caused the problem for other
countries also.

of currency can drop the market for whole world’s economy (Hsu and et. al., 2013). Any fiscal
policy or monetary policy of the country can affect the financial operations of other countries
also.

in their country to invest. Through the investment the guest company or business brings
opportunities and development into that region. These development opportunities can bring more
technological advancement, investment into the country, more employment generations,
infrastructure development, opening up of new and more opportunities of the people who are
living in the host countries and much more (Li and et. al.,2013). All these emerging economies
are presenting opportunities for global expansion by the following ways:
Inviting the companies: These emerging economies tries to invite the other big businesses who
are planning to expand their business globally or who are planning to set their business for global

level. Through inviting these business, the government get ready to agree upon their terms and
conditions and also allows these companies to use their resources for business activities. The
companies comes to these economy for business and uses their resources.
Government schemes: The government also helps their own country’s business in expansion of
the domestic business at a global level. For help the government tries to give many sanctions and
free trades policies to encourage them for expanding their business globally. The government
also want their domestic companies to present themselves at a global level, as that company
would present the country at a global level.
Giving interesting schemes to other companies: To attract the companies for investing into
host country, the host country gives some lucrative offers and schemes to these companies to
invest into their country. Such companies have many options and invitations from other countries
also for investment purpose. The company analyze all the available alternatives and then choose
the option which benefits it the most (Stern and Deimler, 2012).

business globally have been mentioned. Along with it, the countries also invites the other
country’s business to invest into their country for business purpose which actually also helps the
host countries in developing their economy.
