What is Social Media Literacy?

In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. With its widespread use, the ability to navigate, analyze, and engage with online content critically is more important than ever. This is where social media literacy comes in.

Social media literacy refers to the ability to access, evaluate, and create content responsibly on digital platforms. It includes understanding how social media algorithms work, identifying misinformation, maintaining online privacy, and using social media ethically and effectively.

This heavy dependence increases vulnerability to misinformation and disinformation.
