Well, I am not very well versed in this condition, but in my opinion, social media companies play a major role in spreading false information, fake news, and misinformation. People nowadays have access to a variety of information on the internet, and they often know what they are looking for. They are just scrolling through their phones all day and feeding their brains with the news they see. They can't even recheck or relate that information to the truth. So it's becoming a source of misleading people in many fields. For all of us young people, it can be easier to determine whether the information is misleading or true, but for older people, it can be damaging. They may even rely on some myths for their medical health. For example, my father recently told me that eating fish bones, a fish skull bone, can reduce the effects of eczema. That's totally a myth that he saw on the internet and then applied to me. But it's completely wrong because the internet is misleading people in many ways.
