How does
social media contribute to mental illness in today's society? How heavily (if
at all) do you think social media should be regulated to

your argument and cite your sources.
The effects of any innovation can be
both positive and negative effects on its users. Similarly, the recent
advancement in social media technology has seen growth in world communication
and connectivity while still holding negative effects from the technology's
excessive use. Social media's effects on mental health are one of technology's
major and leading negative effects. Therefore, the relationship between social
media, its excessive use, and mental health must be evaluated to identify the
weighty negative effects of the relationship and how they are to be combated.
