Let’s be honest, the lives we are all currently living are heavily reliant on social media. We use it to talk to our friends and family which we can no longer meet and go for a coffee, to promote our businesses and other endless amount activities. But is the social media we know and love becoming less social and more exhausting? 
Fake news, sensationalist headlines and false information have always existed on the internet, as a form of clickbait, but we have seen a rapid increase of all three of these across social media in the past few years. All too often, we see articles written to spark outrage and gain traction with its likes, comments and shares rather than reporting the truth.  
We all remember the phrase that was drilled into our little heads as children: ‘Don’t talk to strangers’, but what about as adults and young adults in today’s online social media playground? 
This ‘ever so popular’ term, rewarded in 2017, is even more prevalent in 2019! Initially, it was brought to the forefront of our minds on a hard-hitting scale by US president Donald Trump when disarming unfavourable press coverage of himself, and it doesn’t show any signs of being archived just yet.
