Social Media Vulnerable to Hate Speech
The level of awareness is on the rise, hate speech is now common among all ages. The internet is aiding dissemination of formation at an alarming rate. People use this medium to spread propagandas, fake news, tensions and hatred.
In Hong Kong China, the anti-government protest is heavily supported by Social Media. So many unfounded stories and hate comment dished out. The Special Administrative Region’s government is finding it hard to contain the situation. The city is might be heading to doom.

There are many parts of the world that is yet to benefit from the internet, most people don’t use or know the importance of the internet. Little do they know, most solutions are readily available in the Internet
Many till see the internet as a platform for fraud, some sane minds deliberately discourage the use of internet, perhaps; they suffered in the hands of internet fraudsters.

The Human Factor:
Many Lack Computer Literacy
The 5G network will not work on Mobile phones alone; Computer literacy is key to accessing the full potential of these robust services to be unveiled.
Unfortunately, many lack computer skills. A research by an online publication submits that, more than 67% of the world had no Personal Computer.
There are those who know little to nothing on the use of computer gadget. Such mind set cannot utilize the opportunities available on the internet. The 5G network may fail in that aspect.
The application of technology cannot work on its own without the control of humans. Humans play a critical role in the implementation and delivery of the 5G network.
Computer literacy should be a priority of all society. Get young people at an early stage of life. More so, 90% of all we do should be online.
