Social media ’destroying how society works'
A former Facebook executive has said social media is
doing great harm to society around the world. The
executive is a man called Chamath Palihapitiya. He
___________ Facebook in 2007 a n d ___________a vice
president. He was responsible for increasing the number of
users Facebook had. Mr Palihapitiya said he feels very
guilty about getting more people to use social networks. He
said the networks are destroying society because they are
changing people's behavior. Twenty years ago, people
talked to each other face to face. Today, people message
each other and do not talk. People also really care about
what other people think of them. They post photos and wait
to see how many people like the photo. They get very sad
if people do not like the photo.
Mr. Palihapitiya said people should take a long break
from social media so they can experience real life. He
wants people to value each other instead of valuing online
"hearts, likes, and thumbs-up". Palihapitiya also points out
how fake news is affecting how we see the world, it is
becoming easier for large websites to spread lies. It is also
becoming easier to hurt other people online. Anyone can
hide behind a fake user name and post lies about other
people. Palihapitiya said this was a global problem. He is
worried about social media so much that he has banned
his children from using it. However, he did state that
Facebook was a good company. He said: "Of course, it's
not all bad. Facebook overwhelmingly does good in the
world."
