What would be the effect of banning social media in our society?.

Few years ago, Twitter was banned from operating in Nigeria by the former government. We vthe citizens thought itv was a joke until we found it difficult to accessed unless through VPN. Lots of revenues were lost by those that were using the platform for their marketing. The past government attempt was successful because itv was used as a bargaining factor during negotiation before Twitter was allowed to re-opened. It was Twitter yesterday, who knows who might be the next victim?

If social media were banned, society would benefit in that individuals would cease to be pressured by the pressures that originate from various social media platforms. For example, people would face reduced peer pressure, thus leading more authentic and sustainable lives.

Banning social media would definitely have it's positive and as well negative side. The ban would lead to people being more socially active, on the other hand it could also reduce the effectiveness of communication.

Banning social media will affect sellers online because that is where a lot of people make their money. Example like Instagram they are a lot of businesses there and sales are high there.
