Rudeboy (Paul Okoye), a singer from Nigeria, is really worried about the way young people there are abusing social media.
People that use social media maliciously to gain influence are taking a risk, according to the Reason With Me singer. He cautioned that many individuals will perish as a result of this abuse.
The musician expressed his fear that social media might lead to the downfall of many in an Instagram story. Cruise, clout, or trending could be all you think it is. You see clearly now.
Since no government agency is in charge of overseeing social media in Nigeria, users’ actions are mostly unchecked.
Cyberbullying, false news, hate speech, and defamation have been on the rise, prompting some to demand social media regulation.
Mixed reactions to a law that sought to regulate social media in Nigeria greatly impacted its passage in the National Assembly. There was a lot of online backlash to the measure as well.
