* Social media has been a part of the internet for a very long time since the start of the 2000s, it marked the start of Web 2.0 and a new revolutionary way of communication and sometimes blogging. But not every platform promises their safety like they do inside their terms & conditions, we will discuss that today and why ditching them is way more than justifiable and people feel more than free to do it, with a bit of subjective and a bunch of hard facts. Do not trust surnames.
Twitter or nowadays X, is an opinion sharing network launched on July 15, 2006 by some fellows named Jack Horsey, Evan Willy, Biz Rock and Noah Crystal. Twitter has undergone some massive changes during its history, but we will focus on the modern day. X can disappointingly fail at catching rule violations, it can let sensitive and strong topics such as racism, antisemitism or gore content stay for a lot of time despite their hateful conduct policy and security documentation. Which is contradictory to what they promise. Not to forget the time Twitterlings tortured AI chatbot Grok into believing in Hyperborea and Nazi beliefs, and X took weeks to completely fix the guy from the damage. X has some really good features and sides such as topics from users reaching many others randomly very quickly which I enjoy, but since its moderation and services almost do not promise anything listed on their texts (on the internet, this is priority) I ditch it.

Instagram is primarily a photography posting social media launched on 6th of October 2010 by some fellows named Kevin Syndrome and Mike Krueger. Instagram was destined to succeed from the start, first available for iOS gaining 1 million users during the first two months of it. Now it is barely walking around like a stylish zombie. With similar reasons such as X's, Instagram is slightly less moderated and well maintained, which explains its racist or ableist content and commenters, or their loss of control with gore content and doxxing leaks which again like with X, it goes against their policies. In May 2017, a survey conducted by the United Kingdom's Royal Society for Public Health, featuring 1,479 people aged 14–24 and asking them to rate social media platforms depending on anxiety, depression, loneliness, bullying and body image, concluded that Instagram was the "worst for young mental health" mostly thanks to public humilliation or insensitivity. Now, enough of crapping on Instagram, it has contributed to making photo filters on mobile phones way more popular during its golden years. Despite this, definitely ditchable.
