D773 Task 2
Layla
A1. Social Media
I asked ChatGPT “What are some potential and ethical issues
associated with social media?”
ChatGPT said “There are a lot of potential privacy and ethical issues
tied to social media use—both for individuals and organizations. Here
are some of the big ones:
A. Privacy Concerns:
a. Data Collection & surveillance- Platforms harvest
massive amounts of personal data (location,
browsing habits, private messages). Users often
don’t realize the extent.
b. Lack of consent/ understanding- Terms of service
are long and complicated, so many people “agree”
without informed consent.
c. Third-party access- Data is shared or sold to
advertisers, app developers, or even political
groups.
B. Ethical Issues:
a. Misinformation & fake news- False or misleading
content spreads fast, influencing opinions, elections,
and public health.
b. Algorithmic bias- AI-driven feeds can reinforce
stereotypes, amplify harmful content, or prioritize
profit over well-being.
c. Manipulation & exploitation- Users are nudged
into addictive scrolling habits, outrage cycles, or
targeted ads designed to exploit vulnerabilities.
d. Cyberbullying & harassment- Easy anonymity makes
it simpler for people to spread hate, abuse or
threats.
e. Mental health impact- Unrealistic portrayals of life,
body image pressures, and constant comparison can
damage self-esteem and well-being.
f. Digital divide- Unequal access to tech and digital
literacy can worsen inequality.
g. Intellectual property issues- Content is often
reshared without proper credit or permission.
