Abstract

In the 21st century, the emergence of social media has radically transformed global communication, socialization, and human interaction. As societies continue to digitize, social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have become integral tools for information sharing, communication, and social engagement. These platforms, originally designed for maintaining interpersonal relationships, have evolved into powerful spaces where cultural, political, educational, and even economic discourses are negotiated.
