Social media is a medium of interaction through which individuals share content, ideas, thoughts,
and other forms of interaction online through virtue of communication. This is a medium that
was expected by its innovators to be of positive use and impact people positively (Zivnuska 2).
However, this is not the case for young adults since it is more harmful and has turned to be so
toxic. Generally, there are varieties of the adverse effect that social media has to young adults
(Heffer 464). Social media has been used as a medium through which young adults spread hate
speech regarding other people, political leaders, their nations, among others. For example, when
young adults use social media that are available today, such as Facebook and Twitter, they are
likely going to fall as the victims of the hate speech spread on these platforms, and to some
extent, they find themselves spreading hate speech without their know-how based on their age.
This problem can be more severe to girls and other young adults who belong to minority
communities since most of the times, the kind of hate speech spread through social media is
gender-based or even tribal-based. The annoying part of it all is that the government is not taking
any legal action against those who spread hate speech on social media. This reluctant act by the
government attracts the young adults to practice hate speech since they know at the end of the
day, the government won't act on them. Rarely do the government take legal action against
individuals who spread hate speech in social media which attracts young adults to practice it
knowing the government won't take any action against them (Hogue 3)
There is a lot of social distrust happening through social media. Young adults may indulge in
aggressive or offensive behavior in their daily lives through what they view in social media. This
is because adults may think what they see in social media is what they should practice in their
daily lives of which is very far from the truth. Also, social media is a medium through which
people practice cyberbullying today (Heffer 462).
