Social media is any digital tool that allows users to quickly create and share content with the public. Social media encompasses a wide range of websites and apps. Some, like Twitter, specialize in sharing links and short written messages. Others, like Instagram and TikTok, are built to optimize the sharing of photos and videos.
What makes social media unique is that it is both broad and relatively uncensored. While many social media companies impose some limitations—such as taking down images that display violence or nudity—there are much fewer limitations on what someone can share than there with other means of mass communication like newspapers, radio stations, and television channels.
Anyone with internet access can sign up for a social media account. They can use that account to share whatever content they choose to, and the content they share reaches anyone who visits their page or profile. More and more people, regardless of age and gender, are signing up for profiles on online social networks for connecting with each other in this virtual world. But at the same time, there is the proliferation of fake profiles also. Fake profiles often spam legitimate users, posting inappropriate or illegal content.
One of the most heated and wrecking controversies was the untimely demise of one of the most versatile, proficient, talented, and wholehearted genius Sushant Singh Rajput, a 34-year-old Bollywood actor who died of an apparent suicide by hanging on June 14. The week SSR died, his page received 11.5 million views. The conspiracy theories about SSR’s cause of death itself seemed increasingly hardly disagreeable facts.
SSR was seen as an outsider, someone who had miraculously broken into the cliquey world of Indian filmmaking despite not having a famous Bollywood surname like Chopra or Kapoor. After starring in the soap opera Pavitra Rishta from 2009 to 2011, he made his film debut in Kai Po Che! in 2013. He played a cricket captain in the 2016 biopic M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, for which he was nominated for a Filmfare Award.
The unwelcomed death of the rising star and the facts and assumptions regarding his demise unveiled and brought forth the mishaps, partiality, and hardships laid upon the outsiders in the B-town, on the other hand, his girlfriend actress Rhea Chakroborty was the prime suspect and one thing and other led it to a whole new drug world.
The demise is still very unacceptable and we believe he is somewhere far yet near and is in peace. The news not only broke millions of hearts but at the same time emotionally shook lakhs of people and made people aware importance of mental peace and depression. News relating the same (whether true or not) has been circulating ever since, through social media apps and creating emotional turmoil among people. Social media undoubtedly reduced miles and flourished connectivity but if not used in an appropriate manner can be very menacing and bring out a crisis that’s beyond repair.
