“Social media”… It is a clear example of the vile culture that is going crazy. It must be said without a doubt that the world-famous media like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X, which nurture it, are fully responsible for it. The government, which is only trying to curb the “porn” (pornographic) videos that are being uploaded from everywhere (Internet) and are being shown on YouTube and Facebook in the name of “reels” to the extent that they are inflaming the country’s culture, is failing the rulers to pay attention to it. Problems are arising due to the provision of “Adults” (for adults) and “Kids” (for children) that is asked before uploading a post on the most popular YouTube channel. If someone makes obscene posts and chooses the Kids option, there will be no problem from the YouTube administrators. They go viral. If you choose the “Adults” option while posting the same information, YouTube has become the authority to immediately suspect that you have violated the “YouTube Community” rules, issue notifications that annoy the member, and give a “strike”. In YouTube parlance, a strike means a warning. Its administrators believe that everything posted on this medium has a number.. propaganda. But, the channel’s failure to implement the rules and regulations accordingly is a big mistake. That is what is now raising the curtain on the problems.
“It is making the words ‘influencer’ and ‘follower’ meaningless. ‘Influencer’ means someone who can change the minds of ten people with four good words, or someone who can make them think. Similarly, ‘followers’ means someone who can gather many people by explaining their theories and proposals. Only then will the meanings of the words ‘influencer’ and ‘followers’ be fully meaningful. Moreover, fish soup, fried chicken, the illicit relationship between the aunt next door and the uncle next door, the crazy love affair between school children, sexual desires in old people, the way a chicken lays an egg, what the milk udder of goats and buffaloes looks like, the way lizards mate, goats and dogs give birth, bedbugs crawl, wasps and mosquito bites, jumping from a moving train, bus or car is safe, Sweets, spicy, spicy flavors… Social media is trying to hide every single thing that people are posting on the internet, with the mask of “reels”.
It has become the custom of YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook to release videos without any thought for the welfare of the society and without any direction or direction. The main reason for the increase in the number of visitors (views) on YouTube today is the “soldierly myths and pornographic videos” that are being spread uncontrollably. It is truly an unforgivable mistake to push information with a vile culture that is beyond imagination in our country and go viral. The root of the problem is that the details and credibility of those posting are not taken into account. YouTube is not the only one… Instagram, Facebook, and X are all constantly showing off countless videos and content that are beyond doubt, but no one cares.
Coming to the real issue, the poisonous cultural trend spreading on social media is worrying, especially in India, a country that is awash with different cultures. It is a great evil that businessmen and political parties are sharing in this sin. Each political party is spending crores of rupees and using social media for their own benefit. The fact that postings go viral without even knowing which video is real or which is morphed is truly a violation of personal freedom. From film actors to politicians, some social and financial figures are getting caught in the clutches of social media. It is an open problem that this extreme trend continues to haunt innocent tribals from Ambani’s son. However, it is sad that no leader has the courage and determination to restrain them.
It seems that the respective political parties are abusing social media not only during elections but also for their survival. Each party, with its financial and population strength, is opening hundreds of social media accounts, distorting the facts with its followers, and attaching obscene images to them, and engaging in social marketing in a way that makes innocent people believe. Some parties are identifying those who have worked and are doing so in the media, providing audio and video tools, and forming social media groups. Their sole aim is to criticize and ridicule their opponents without hesitating over expenses. If someone opens the app to chat with friends, the home page is filled with nothing but political fuss, the smell of fish soup, and videos, content, and pornographic stories like “then take off your clothes”. Nettille is proof that nothing but political turmoil, the smell of fish soup, and “then take off your clothes” are displayed on the home page.
Although this thread has gone beyond the norm in some cases, it is regrettable that there are no records of action taken by the central government or the respective social media despite the many victims. Due to some unusual and crazy videos going viral on social media, heinous crimes are being committed all over the world. Many people who follow such videos become thieves and murderers. Whether it is watching some videos on YouTube and torturing women and girls, killing a fellow human being and chopping them into pieces, playing with water and fire, or doing crazy adventures along trains and losing their lives, social media should be held responsible for all of these. Because one such video influences thousands of people and encourages them to imitate the strange acts in them. Many people are losing their lives in such attempts. Now, it is another strange thing that there are indecent reels next to prophets who give spiritual advice. If you listen to a prophecy about the fate of the gods, there is an indecent film next to it saying, “See what the Romance will be like on First Night of newly married couple.” Although YouTube administrators say that they are removing millions of channels and videos that do not follow their community guidelines every year, immense damage is being done before the removal is complete.
Worldly knowledge and social consciousness are very important among those who are influential. Some people who do not know the ins and outs of society, who have no idea about the welfare of society, make unthinkable reels and insert them into the media with the misconception that the words they receive are “creative ideas” and get likes and follows, which complicates the problem. If experts in various fields share their experiences and try to do good for others, there is nothing wrong in accepting them as influential people. But, instead of influencing the society with good words, it is sad to use cell phones in their hands to mislead the youth. There are countless vile scenes that portray horrific things happening on the streets right before our eyes, instead of stopping them. Due to such people, constitutional provisions like the right to speech and expression of emotions are losing their meaning. There are also suggestions that media organizations should make a comprehensive change to their community guidelines. There are also suggestions that efforts to curb obscene videos before they are disseminated, with the help of emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools, would be of some benefit.
