users which the organization has in the industry. Facebook is able to generate leads that are
related to ecommerce based operations. Instagram has a base of 500 million active users and
the engagement rates of audience are also quite high. The organization is able to gain much
more revenues from advertisements as compared to that which is gained by Facebook.

the operations of the social media firms in a huge manner. The Cyber laws have led to
changes in the policies which have been developed by the organizations. The social media
firms have started operating in a more organized manner after the implementation of different
regulations in their operations (Plotke, 2018).

develop their operations in such a manner so that they are able to comply with the regulations
developed by the government. The organizations need to the manage the operations in order
maintain the sustainability in different countries. The effects of social media is quite high on
the customer base.
