This study examines the role of social media platforms in addressing misinformation, cyberbullying and privacy violations. As online platforms become increasingly integrated into modern culture, the prevalence of these malpractices has increased, causing potential harm to individuals and broader social structures. The paper employs data analysis techniques, including content and thematic analysis of qualitative data as well as both descriptive and inferential measures. The results aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the social impact of misinformation on social media and the efficacy of virtual platforms in addressing these issues. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the consequences of misconduct on virtual platforms, exploring their potential in reducing lies, cyberbullying and privacy violations. By identifying effective strategies, the study aims to inform policy and practice, contributing to the development of a safer and more responsible virtual environment.
Abstract [Hindi]
यह अध्ययन भ्रामक सूचनाओं, साइबरबुलिंग और गोपनीयता उल्लंघनों को रोकने में सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफार्मों की भूमिका का अध्यन करता है। जैसे-जैसे ऑनलाइन प्लेटफ़ॉर्म आधुनिक संस्कृति में तेजी से समाहित होते जा रहे हैं, इन अनाचारों का प्रचलन बढ़ गया है, जिससे व्यक्तियों और व्यापक सामाजिक संरचनाओं को संभावित नुकसान हो रहा है। यह पेपर विश्लेषण डेटा विश्लेषण तकनीकों को नियोजित करता है, जिसमें गुणात्मक डेटा की सामग्री और विषयगत विश्लेषण के साथ-साथ वर्णनात्मक और अनुमानात्मक दोनों उपाय शामिल हैं। परिणामों का उद्देश्य सोशल मीडिया पर हो रहे गलत कामो के सामाजिक प्रभाव और इन मुद्दों को संबोधित करने में आभासी प्लेटफार्मों की प्रभावकारिता की व्यापक समझ प्रस्तुत करना है। इस शोध का उद्देश्य आभासी प्लेटफार्मों पर कदाचार के परिणामों के बारे में मूल्यवान अंतर्दृष्टि प्रदान करना, झूठ, साइबरबुलिंग और गोपनीयता उल्लंघनों को कम करने में उनकी क्षमता की खोज करना है। प्रभावी रणनीतियों की पहचान करके, अध्ययन का उद्देश्य नीति और अभ्यास को सूचित करना है, जो एक सुरक्षित और अधिक जिम्मेदार आभासी वातावरण के विकास में योगदान देता है।
