Social media is the digital 'lingua franca' of modern society. The main social media networks cross geographical barriers, cultural obstacles and language difficulties. Like any tool, social media presents great opportunities and great concerns. Social networks provide a democratic opportunity for groups and individuals to conceive solutions to our human family's challenges of climate change, inequality and poverty. However, recent events have shown us that social media is a two-edged sword that cuts both ways. The other side of the global conversation presents the potential for misinformation, cyber-bullying and fraud.
