Wikipedia, has a list of social media platforms with 100 million users, that includes the 23 sites above plus more...  CLICHERE to view that list.

Social Media platforms allow us to communicate with others without communicating face to face, which gives both sides the opportunity to say pretty much anything they want without the fear of being punched.

Social Media platforms also gives us the opportunity to pretend to be anyone that we want to pretend to be.

Social Media platforms, many of which are free, allow us to create platforms and use avatars rather than a real photo of ourselves.  Some people use photos of themselves that are 20-30 years old, implying they are younger than they really are.

The user should beware of social media platforms, unfortunately, there are tons of people on these platforms that are there specifically to prey on the WEAK.
