World Social Media Day

June 30, Sunday

World Social Media Day is celebrated annually on June 30. This holiday was established in 2010 by the popular online publication Mashable to recognize the impact of social media on global communications and its role in modern information technology. Social networks have become an integral part of the daily lives of billions of people, influencing culture, business, politics and personal relationships.

Goals of the holiday
Recognition of the contribution of social networks. Social Media Day is an opportunity to celebrate how these platforms have changed the way people interact, making communication more accessible, faster and global.
Security awareness. An important theme of this day is to draw attention to security and privacy issues in social networks, as well as responsibility for the content posted.
Innovation and new trends. Current and future trends in the development of social media are discussed, including new technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other digital tools that can transform the user experience.

Despite all the benefits, social networks face a number of challenges:

Cyberbullying and bullying. Social media can become an arena for insults, bullying and aggression, especially among young users.

Fake news and disinformation. Networks are often used to spread false information that can influence public opinion and even political processes.

Privacy issues. A lot of the data that people share on social media can be used without their consent or knowledge, which creates a threat to privacy.

Addiction and mental health. Numerous studies show that excessive use of social media can negatively affect mental health, cause anxiety, depression and a feeling of loneliness.
