Facebook, as a social media platform, has numerous advantages and disadvantages that impact users and society at large. Here are some key points:
Advantages :
- Connectivity:
Facebook allows users to stay connected with friends, family, and acquaintances regardless of geographic barriers. It helps people maintain relationships and reconnect with old friends. - Communication:
The platform provides various communication tools, including messaging, video calls, and group chats, facilitating both one-on-one and group interactions. - Information Sharing:
Users can share updates, photos, videos, and links, keeping others informed about their lives and interests. This can be a powerful way to share important news, events, and personal achievements. - Networking:
Facebook is useful for professional networking. Many businesses, organizations, and professionals use it to build their networks, promote their services, and engage with potential clients or collaborators.
Disadvantages
- Addiction and Time Consumption:

Especially in the name of children’s entertainment Offers a variety of content including videos, games, and live streaming. Engages users through interactive content like quizzes, polls, and events.
Also, Everyone is spreading bad knowledge by making Tik Tok videos. You will be surprised to know that my younger sister’s classmate in class 3 is a Tiktoker. She has three Facebook IDs. She stays up all night playing games and making TikTok. - Mental Health Impact:
Can lead to issues like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem due to comparison and online negativity. Overexposure to idealized images and lifestyles can affect users’ self-image.
Overall, Facebook is inappropriate for secondary students. Focusing on studying at this age is the hallmark of a good student. However, it is appropriate for a student to use Facebook while studying in a college or university. Because a university student develops the ability and skill to judge good and bad.
So my dear friends, we focus on our lessons away from Facebook for the time being. May Allah Almighty grant us good students and Tawfiq, Ameen
