With over 2.5 billion active users, social media is one of the most popular online activities worldwide. From sharing photos and personal updates to staying up-to-date on current events, news, and sports scores, there are so many ways to use social media. And with so many people using social media, it's no surprise that some of the biggest news stories in recent years have broken on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter.
