Social media refers to online platforms and tools that allow individuals and groups to create, share, and exchange user-generated content, such as text, images, videos, and other forms of digital media. These platforms often provide features such as news feeds, timelines, profiles, and messaging systems that enable users to connect and interact with others, share their thoughts, experiences, and interests, and build communities around shared topics or causes. Some popular social media platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn, among many others. Social media has revolutionized the way people communicate, consume information, and build relationships, and has also had significant impacts on politics, business, culture, and society at large.
