Yeah, there are some potential drawbacks of relying heavily on social media for news and information. Nowadays, media is very advanced, AI is very advanced, and almost everyone uses social media for news and information as well. People quit watching or reading newspapers and quit watching the official news channels that the country has mentioned to watch. It is very easy to deceive anyone through social media because it is the era of AI. Anyone can create false news, even false images and videos, and publish them. They look so realistic that some people believe them and try to tell others that this is authentic. But the people who are sharing this information don’t know that it is AI-generated, and it has a significant impact on older people because they do not understand AI.
