Social media in times of crisis whether it be during pandemics or natural disasters such as earthquakes , are essential for keeping contact with loved ones. Furthermore they provide a platform for people to voice their opinions on wars in the Ukraine and a can be a means to garner the support for a cause. Social media global citizens and ables us to interact all over the world.
