My personal experience with social media is mostly good, that is because my parents gave me screen time limits and kept track of many websites and games I played. They are very careful about me going on sketchy websites because of chance of getting a virus. I only went on websites like youtube, roblox, zoom minecraft, teams, and educational websites for school.
