Should Social Media Be Banned?

[Karanvir S]

Alrighty. WOAH WOAH WOAH! hold your horses! Don't just starting typing NO IT SHOULDNT! listen to my whole question. Basically I have a debate project. So I am on the side of Yes social media should be banned (even though i completely disagree!) and since I disagree I have no idea what to say to say Yes it should be banned. I thought of one like Oh Social Media is bad because people bully each other on it and many people have committed suicide because of the bullying that goes on their and give Amanda Todd as an example (RIP Amanda Todd) so please give me more ideas and arguments i could bring to the table during the debate. THANK YOU! and may the best answer win!

You make no sense and No it shouldn't be completely banned but controlled more effectively.

LOL nice save, i was about to start pounding on the keyboard angrily!

Ok so you can say this:

The social media has been known to leak information about people online. Also, people show private information on the social media, which never gets off of it. Expand on that.
