Question 41

How is social networking responsible for cybercrime?

Answer

Social networking sites play a role in cybercrime in several ways. Since many people use them, some believe they can post anything without facing consequences by using fake email IDs or hiding their identity. This allows them to share false information, spread rumours, or make harmful comments, leading to arguments, harassment, and even causing communal tension. This kind of behaviour not only disturbs social harmony but also encourages cybercrimes like fraud and identity theft.
