JAKARTA - Social media has become an important part of our daily lives, especially in this digital era. They allow us to connect with friends, family, and even foreigners from around the world.

However, just like any other technology, the wrong use of social media can have a negative impact on our lives. In this article, we will provide some tips and guidance on how to use good and correct social media.

When creating social media profiles, make sure to display relevant and interesting information. This will help others get to know you and strengthen social relationships. Use a clear and easy-to-recognizable profile photo, and write down a brief but informative description of the profile.

Every social media platform has a different privacy option. Make sure to check privacy settings and choose the right settings for your profile. For example, you can choose to limit who can view your content, who can send messages, and who can know your personal information.

Don't flood your friends and followers with too many posts or updates. Make sure to consider the frequency of posts, times, and types of content you post. In addition, avoid using harsh language or sending negative or offensive messages to others.

Avoid posting personal information such as phone numbers, email addresses, or home addresses. In addition, avoid posting images or videos that reveal your personal information or other people. Remember that things like this can be risky to steal or misuse.

Always follow good online ethics when using social media. Do not spread false or harmful content, do not intimidate or abuse others, and do not spread hatred. Always speak politely and respectfully to others.

Often we spend too much time on social media without realizing it. Try to set your time wisely and make sure that social media usage doesn't interfere with your daily activities or work. Make a schedule or limit the time you spend on social media.

Make sure to choose content that is safe and appropriate to see. Do not download or post harmful content or violate copyright. Avoid accessing inappropriate or unsafe content as well.

In conclusion, social media can be a very useful tool to connect with other people and strengthen our social relationships. But it is also very dangerous if it is misused. So use social media wisely.
