Hello to all hive users 🤗❤️🙏 Hope you all are healthy and doing great in your life🙂
It wouldn't be wrong to say that today is the era of social media. If there are five people living in a family today, four of them are likely to use social media. Even those who know how to use a mobile phone use some form of social media based on their convenience and interests. Social media has become a very important tool for people today, and for some, it's so important that it's beyond description. Thanks to social media, many talented individuals have emerged in the public eye, and through social media, they have become very famous. Since social media has become so modern and advanced, you may have noticed that people are now using it to consume news. In earlier times there used to be newspapers, people used to see news in them, then after that people used to get information about the happenings in the country and abroad with the help of news channels on television. In today's time you must have noticed that the news which comes later on news channels, comes first on social media. So if we look at today's time, social media is such a tool which you can use for entertainment, to connect with your friends and relatives and also to know the news of the country and abroad. All this has been possible because you can use social media from anywhere, for this it is not necessary that you have a disconnection and you do not need a big television also, all you need is an active internet mobile connection and a normal mobile phone with which you can do basic multimedia tasks.

There was a time when, whenever a social issue arose, people would use newspapers to express their opinions, and then express their agreement and dissent based on that opinion. Today is the era of social media, and whenever a social issue arises, people first begin expressing their opinions on social media, as it's the easiest medium. Whenever an issue arises in the country, people express their agreement and disagreement on social media, and then others, based on that, decide who is right and who is wrong. They never try to understand the ground reality; if enough people speak the truth about a particular issue, they tend to support it, and if more people disagree, they tend to oppose it. Even if the actual truth of the issue is something else, people tend to support whatever goes viral on social media and in this process, many times a person who is wrong is proved right and a person who is right but has less people speaking in his favour, he himself gets proved wrong and most of the people form their mindset according to social media.
This is most commonly misused by some political parties to spread false news about their opposition parties, and the public then believes these stories without truly understanding the ground reality. It's crucial to investigate whether any news circulating on social media is true or false, as fake news has become rampant these days, often leading to confusion and significant inconvenience. The government should also implement stricter regulations, ensuring strict action against anyone found spreading false news. There's very little real news and a lot of fake news on social media today. Controlling these false news is crucial, as these reports can sway public opinion and lead them to believe things they shouldn't.
