 The article discusses how social media platforms like Facebook can influence people's behavior and decision-making processes. Research has shown that people who use Facebook are more likely to spend money, eat unhealthy food, and engage in risky behaviors due to the constant stream of information and peer pressure. Additionally, the brain's reward system is activated when users receive likes and comments, releasing dopamine and creating a sense of pleasure. This can lead to addiction and decreased self-control. Furthermore, the algorithm-driven nature of these platforms can create "filter bubbles" where users are only exposed to information that confirms their existing beliefs, leading to a lack of diversity in thought and opinion. Overall, the article highlights the potential negative consequences of excessive social media use on individuals and society as a whole.
