In recent years, when digitalization has become increasingly widespread, the effects of the social destruction caused by social media have deepened.
Some social media users known as “virtual beggars” or “social media beggars” have made the digital world a source of income.
Virtual beggars, who demand money from social media users in the name of donations with the videos they shoot, the live broadcasts they make or the shares they make, showed how much human dignity can be trampled on.
On the other hand, the fact that people started to beg even from the virtual environment due to the economic crisis and unemployment revealed the point where the conditions in Turkey have come.
It is eagerly awaited when a serious action will be taken against the use of social media, which paves the way for immorality, prostitution, gambling and many other perversions.
"Virtual beggars" or "social media beggars", which are on the agenda of the digital world, have made the virtual world a way of making easy money.
Virtual beggars, who beg people to send them money for no reason, with the videos they shoot and the posts they make, astonish those who see it.
Particularly, some users who beg for money in live broadcasts they open on social media platforms make them say "it won't be like this" with their actions, words and mise-en-scène.
This new begging method, which was also revealed by the economic crisis and unemployment, revealed how dangerous the consequences of not using social media consciously can be.
Of course, it is also in the interest of social media bosses that thousands of virtual beggars demand money from users in the digital world under the name of donation.
Social media companies, which receive a share of every penny that social media beggars earn, are investing in the new virtual begging trend.
Social media programs, whose live broadcasts, shares and videos have been made more suitable for virtual begging, with new updates to applications, take advantage of every opportunity for moral disinformation.
An attempt is made to normalize this destruction caused by social media applications that make advertisements for the spread of virtual beggars under the name of humor, jokes and jokes.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT ARE VERY IMPORTANT
Some countries, known for their restrictions on the use of social media, take many measures to protect their social values.
Trying to mitigate the destruction of social media and the virtual world by introducing special conditions, these countries are increasing their investments in social media companies day by day.
There are steps Turkey has taken in this area, but they are insufficient in many areas. In particular, the "virtual begging" frenzy, which reintroduces the importance of conscious use of social media, shows how necessary the steps to be taken by the state are in this area.
