Instagram: A Warning to Parents

                I agree with the statement of the CNN host and support his vision against the Instagram. It is true that the Instagram is now among a top used social media platform. Anyone can go on Instagram and create an account. There are no restrictions or limits to open an account. Even a newborn can open the account if the newborn has an idea about the technology. anyone can go on someone else’s account and look for the personal information if the account is available to public. Anyone can unload videos and pictures on Instagram and make it available to public. It also states that Instagram is more dangerous to teenagers as compared to other social media platforms. As mentioned, children are now making decisions at the early age without the experience, and it is turning out to be a negative factor. Moreover, it has fueled to teen suicides and self-harm has increased since the Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012. As well it is spreading misinformation in teenagers. Therefore, “the CNN host said he would rather give his kids Jack Daniels and Weed than Instagram account.”
