I dont hate it, I just dont use most of it. Only here, some hockey forums and reddit sometimes. I dont really touch Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

I'm just indifferent to it. Don't see the appeal of it at all.

This.

However, I think social media is slowly becoming a threat to societies.

Unfortunately, many people are prone to fake news. They lose touch with reality and become radicalized when consuming too much of it.
Hate speech and insults directed at the LGBTQ community, women and jews have increased massively during the last years.

Social media must be better regulated. Users must be better protected. Harassments or worse should have consequences in real life.

Why? Because the more people radicalize themselves in social media, the more it affects me in real life, too. I don't want to meet ticking timebombs with disgusting, brainwashed views at every corner when I walk out my house.

I must have misinterpreted the meaning of the word "indifferent", my bad (english isn't my native language).

I just meant to say that I don't have any interest in using social media (other than this board, or looking up a video guide when I'm stuck in a game), because it doesn't offer me any value. But I see it as a threat to me in real life, the more people radicalize themselves there.
