Social media has been around for years and years but it seems like recently the platform is really getting out of hand. I logged on to one of my social media accounts earlier today and the first image I was hit with was very inappropriate. It was pornography on the timeline.
I was very shocked to see it, and I immediately went to the person's account to see if I was following them. I wasn't. So I wondered how in the world was I able to see this, and why are videos like that even allowed on social media for the whole world to see? What if I was scrolling while in a work meeting, or having dinner with my parents, or at a mentoring session with a group of youth?
What ever happened to the restrictions placed on social media? There are websites for just about everything, so why do we have to be forced to see these vulgar videos and images when we don't want to? I need these social media sites to become a little more strict, and keep in mind that people from all walks of life log on to get information and there is just some information that may be too much.
