Cyber Bullying
Higher Risk of Fraud and Identity Theft
Privacy Issues
Other Disadvantages
1.Cyber Bullying
 Cyber Bullying is when a person is continuously bullied through online
accounts.
 Bullying has always been a problem among young people, and even adults.
 However, when social networking sites (SNS) come around, bullying has
been taken to a whole new level as SNS becomes the perfect venue of
bullying.
 People can be harassed for 24*7, and it can be done anonymously:
 Can expose individuals to harassment or inappropriate contact
from others.
 People might do or say things on SNS that they would not have the
guts to do in real life.
1.Cyber Bullying (cont.)
 Easy to spread false information. Anything can be spread to millions of people
in an instant.
 People can take advantage because everything is being performed behind a
screen, which makes it easier to make fun of someone. (Not face to face)
 The victim (Emotional Distress): -> self-esteem issues & depression.
 The consequences can be life threatening whereby victims could go as far as
taking their lives or become psychologically distressed enough to require
medical attention.
 Being part of a social network means understanding the security
risks that online users can face; which is identity fraud.
 Anyone can forge a false identity on a social network & pose as
someone else. Without verification of someone’s identity, one
could befriend a complete stranger & not even know it.
 Information posted on SNS is available to everyone -> this opens
up the possibility for hackers to commit fraud & increase the risk
of identity theft.
2.Higher Risks of Fraud & Identity Theft
 Most thieves need just a few key pieces of your
personal information (date of birth, name & location)
to create a false identity.
 Without proper settings& privacy controls -> high chance of
someone stealing your private information/photos & use it
against you.
2.Higher Risks of Fraud & Identity
Theft(Cont.)
3.Lack of Privacy ( Privacy Issue)
 Safety is at stake when you share everything online. With so much
sharing going on, issues over privacy will always be a big concern.
 Personal information: sharing geographical location @ “checking
in” with their exact location on SNS, and tagging the location
where they work & live.
 Predators (Eg: Rapists) can obtain this information & easily
identify where they can find you at any given time.
 Putting yourself in danger when you share too much personal
information in SNS.
4.Other Disadvantages
1. Addiction
 The most common disadvantage of social
networking sites is addiction. Often users
of these sites get addicted to it. They
spend hours using these sites and it
harms their performance in other fields.
It causes mental health problems and
sometimes it harms their body too.
Sometimes user provides their personal
information to others which is insecure.
2.Loss of Motivation in Students
 The student’s motivational level reduces due to
the use of these social networking sites. They
rely on the virtual environment instead of
gaining practical knowledge from the real world.
 Students have started relying more on the
information accessible easily on these social
networking sites and the web. This reduces their
learning and research capabilities.
Here is an interesting video for u !!!!
Conclusion
 We can see clearly that social networking sites are
advantageous only if they are used wisely. Using
these sites would be helpful, if users do not spend
time unnecessarily. Wise members never provide
personal information to strangers. Use of a tool
depends on users. A doctor can operate with a knife
and a murderer can kill a person with the same knife.
