Gangs and Social Media

I do not understand why people continue to blame social media for society's problems. Instead of pointing the finger, how about we think about how the situation came to be in the first place. When on Instagram, as you start to like certain things more and more, that same type of content will reappear on your feed. If the person on the app likes that content, they have made the decision to continue to see that. So if someone continued to like posts with gang-related content, they have made the decision to have those ideas in their heads every time they open Instagram. Getting rid of social media will not get rid of gangs, I say that because it sounds like people are saying the solution to ending gangs is an end to social media. That is not it.

Social media is glamourising gang violence
