MDA 20009 Digital Communities Third Blog Post Week 7

Topic : What are the dangers of the reliance of social media for public health campaign ?

Hey there! 👋 Today, we're diving into the week 7 topic, lets start !

As social media takes over more aspects of our lives, it’s no surprise that it’s become a popular tool for public health campaigns. Social platforms offer massive reach, are super accessible, and make it easy to tailor messages for different audiences. But, as much as social media seems like a no-brainer for spreading health information, relying on it too much actually has some pretty big downsides. Let’s break down the risks and limitations of using social media as the main stage for public health messages.

1. Spread of Misinformation and Disinformation

Social media is everywhere these days, and while it’s a great way to stay informed, it also comes with a big downside: the rapid spread of misinformation about health.

Think back to the COVID-19 pandemic. As people searched for answers, social media exploded with posts about supposed cures and prevention methods, many of which had no scientific backing (Barua, 2020). These myths went viral so quickly that they often overshadowed accurate, trusted information, making it harder for people to know what to believe.

he intentional spread of false information, or "disinformation." Unlike simple rumours (Lewandowsky 2012), disinformation is often shared on purpose, sometimes for political or financial reasons.

A good example is how some anti-vaccine groups use social media to push misleading information about vaccines. Their posts create fear and doubt, which can lead people to skip vaccinations altogether. This kind of disinformation isn’t just misleading, it can actually harm public health by reducing vaccine uptake and putting more people at risk.

2. Echo Chambers and Confirmation Bias

Ever notice how social media tends to show us posts and videos that fit what we already believe? That’s no accident, it's the algorithms at work, creating what's called an "echo chamber." In these spaces, people mostly see content that reinforces their views, making it less likely they’ll come across or accept ideas that don’t align with theirs (Cabianca, Hammond & Gutierrez 2020).

This is a real challenge for public health campaigns, as it can limit how far accurate information spreads, especially when people are mostly seeing messages that reinforce their existing beliefs or even contradict health advice.I’ve seen this happen in my own life. Some people, for example, are extremely attached to certain perspectives and will debate passionately with others, insisting they’re 100% right. Take the case of some Chinese Malaysians who feel strongly if someone criticizes China, even though they were born and raised in Malaysia. It surprises me, as I’m also a Malaysian Chinese but don’t feel any strong personal connection to China; to me, what happens there isn’t really my business. It just goes to show how powerful

3. Privacy Concerns and Trust Issues

These campaigns often gather data to personalize their messages and reach the right people. But with growing concerns about privacy and data misuse, some folks find this approach a bit too intrusive, and it can create distrust. This has become especially relevant as people’s trust in social media companies has taken a dive in recent years.

So, a reminder always be cautious about what you share online! You may have good intentions, but not everyone on social media does. A little privacy and critical thinking before believe goes a long way.

4. Limited Access and Digital Divide

Social media is definitely a powerful way to spread messages, but it’s worth remembering that not everyone has easy access to it. According to (Petrosyan 2024) As of October 2024, there were 5.52 billion internet users worldwide, which amounted to 67.5 percent of the global population. Of this total, 5.22 billion, or 63.8 percent of the world's population, were social media users. Yes its majority of us but still not all of us.

Many older adults, low-income families, and people in rural areas face challenges like limited internet access. Relying solely on social media for health campaigns could leave these groups out, meaning key health information might not reach everyone who needs it. This can limit a campaign's impact and inclusivity. So, before diving in, always have a backup plan in place to ensure everyone stays informed!

5.  Difficulty in Verifying Credibility

the challenges with social media is that anyone can post health advice, making it hard to keep track of reliable sources. Public health campaigns often have to compete with voices from non-experts, and it’s not always easy for people to tell the difference between credible info and unverified advice.

This can weaken a campaign’s effectiveness, especially if people end up following inaccurate information. So, remember to stay cautious—think carefully before believing everything you see on social media!

6. Overemphasis on Self-Promotion by Influencers

Influencers are often brought on board to spread health messages in some campaigns. This can definitely help reach a wider audience, but there’s a catch. If influencers don’t really know the topic or focus more on self-promotion than accuracy, the message can get lost. Plus, if followers sense that an influencer is just doing it for a pay check, trust in the message can take a big hit. It’s a reminder to stay mindful—don’t underestimate how social media can sometimes lead us down the wrong path with misleading information.

Conclusion

Social media is a great tool for public health campaign outreach, but relying on it too much has its risks. To avoid these pitfalls, public health campaigns should make social media just one part of a bigger strategy. Combining it with traditional media, community engagement, and partnerships with trusted local organizations creates a balanced approach. This way, campaigns can reach more people, cut down on misinformation, and make sure important health information stays accessible and reliable.
