In conclusion, does social media is, and will continue to be, harmful or helpful?

Neither. Just as books, newspapers and magazines are not inherently harmful or helpful - despite parents going off their heads banning books and censoring articles, etc.

There is a level of education and decorum required when engaging with media. Too many people think their opinion should be the only opinion, and laws and ToS don't matter.

Social media is cancer and many girls are addicted to it 🤢🤮

I believe it's harmful for the reasons that some people compare each other with celebrities or famous IG models, some people hate criticism, some people will get affected by some videos or perceive some type of music as sometimes they should imitate... And do no good

Social media, like any tool, is only as good/bad as the person using it.

[PeachyPie93]

It will always be more harmful than helpful. The internet is the best and also the worst thing that happened to the planet because anyone can have access and not everyone should have a platform.

[Nikki1989]

The impact of social media depends on how it is used. People need to stop blaming outside influencers for the issues they created.

[katiesmuff]

It will continue to be harmful!

[Ladsin2]

Harmful, particularly for women.

[Bklynbadboy12]
