Does Facebook make life worse?

Have you ever considered how the posts and photos you share on your personal Facebook account might affect others, making them feel worse about their lives?

Facebook is currently the world's number one social network, with its incredible ability to connect and share between people. But that doesn't necessarily mean it makes people happier. In fact, in some cases, what you see on Facebook can make life much harder than you imagine.

It's very important on Facebook that every time you post a status update or a photo on this social network, you should know exactly who will see it.

If it's a funny story from the internet, a collected photo, or something "harmless," you can share it with everyone.

However, in the remaining cases, these posts/photos all have some degree of influence on those who view them.

If you post a travel photo or a picture of delicious food, it might make many people feel envious because not everyone has the means, time, and money to enjoy life like you do.

Photos of family and children can make lonely people feel even worse and more unhappy. These are just a few examples among many cases where sharing on Facebook makes people's lives worse.

Facebook quickly realized that its product wasn't making everyone happy. Through surveys, Facebook discovered that a large number of users were surprised when what they posted on the social network was seen by strangers. This means that without proper categorization and restrictions on who shares content on Facebook, the social network will increasingly contribute to societal unhappiness, rather than serving as a tool for connecting people.

Privacy Checkup reminds users to be more selective about who they target.

The options presented show that choosing who to share with is quite effective. Users can choose to share to Public, Friends, or separate groups to avoid disturbing others.

Of course, this method isn't optimal, as it requires users to be "self-disciplined" and not forget to select their target audience. In the future, Facebook intends to create a warning box that pops up whenever users post a status or photo. This warning box will remind users to always pay attention to selecting the target audience they want to share with. It will be more inconvenient, but it's necessary for Facebook to become a better social media environment for everyone.

Facebook wants everyone to be happy on social media, and for what users share to reach the right people at the right time.
