distance, space and time are no longer a significant obstacle. Social networks have a positive
impact on community communication. But behind it all there are also negative impacts that are
felt by many users of social media. The negative impact is caused because the community is not
good at choosing and sorting out the good ones and the bad ones. This study aims to find out
