The number of negative effects on Facebook is countless and each effect can lead to even more negative effects. Addiction can lead to the lack of productive activities; privacy can lead to an employer choosing not to higher a job candidate; bullying can lead to depression and low self-esteem. Although it may seem clear that using Facebook does come with negative effects, many people deny that there are negative effects associated with the site. Some users who are aware of the many negative effects on the social networking site believe that only some users are affected. This may include only teenagers or people who may use the site irresponsibly.
Something should be done to lessen the number of negative effects of Facebook. In an interview, Southall said Facebook should find a way to monitor the amount of time a user spends on Facebook each time in order to prevent addiction. Also, Facebook should make the privacy settings more clear and easier to use.
Using Facebook definitely comes with negative effects, but not everyone who uses the site is affected. Many users are able to use the site responsibly by not posting too much information and not spending too much time on Facebook. Although the social networking site includes some negative effects, it is still worth using. The site helps people stay connected to friends and family and share important or exciting news to a large group of people. The site is not completely negatively viewed, as long as a user thinks about how they are using it.
