Social Media is an excellent tool for business growth. It allows instant communication, which increases brand awareness, and provides easy consumer feedback. It's also great for recruiting talent. I would say that the biggest drawback is that it lacks privacy. It is also hard to determine who is legitimate and who is not.

Social media applications are best for business. We can use it for advertising. For example, the company can give a discount or free delivery to the customer if he buys from the business. But the drawback is that it is used for terrorism and other illegal activities. Our younger generation has been made mentally captive.
