With the proliferation of the internet, social networking sites are playing a dominate role in modern people’s life. Some contend that they mainly impose detrimental impact on people and community. Believing the negative effect truly exists, I still see the benefits brought by them.

Personal information is getting more readily available due to the requirement involved in the registration process for social networking sites. Some private data, such as one’s home address, phone number, and parents’name, runs a great risk of being leaked. When it falls into the hand of sales persons or frauds, netizens will be inevitably bothered by a serious of sales calls or possibly be blackmailed, leading to so much unnecessary trouble in their lives.

On the one hand, since people do not need to worry about being embarrassed while communicating through the internet, they feel free to exchange their ideas and leave comments online.

On the other hand, the society, in this way, can be more harmonious because these social networking websites, such as Facebook and Instagram, are regarded as both an outlet of negative energy and a form of entertainment.
