6. People’s Concern  Social Media can be scared very quickly.  Things you don’t want someone to see can be seen within seconds.  Social media can be used on cellphones now making it harder to keep privacy.  Children are getting social media earlier and earlier.  It is a bigger risk now that so many little kids are on social media.  The age check on social media doesn’t help because people can lie about their age.  Something needs to be put in place to not let children get social media.  Social Media can be scared very quickly.  Things you don’t want someone to see can be seen within seconds.  Social media can be used on cellphones now making it harder to keep privacy.  Children are getting social media earlier and earlier.  It is a bigger risk now that so many little kids are on social media.  The age check on social media doesn’t help because people can lie about their age.  Something needs to be put in place to not let children get social media.
