Standards for ethical behavior are constantly evolving. Because social media is based on information users share about themselves, the level of intimacy is much more of a concern than mass marketing. Reactions, likes, following, commenting, geographic data all provide insight about who we are. Movies you watch, where you eat, where you shop, your relationship status, and your political views provide marketers intimate and accurate information about you in nanoseconds. Marketers often use this information in emotional appeals to influence.

Social media influence is not always about buying a product; it may use emotional appeals to influence your support for causes or ideals. In 2017 Kylie Jenner appeared in a Pepsi ad that ended with the model/actress seemingly diffusing tension between police and protesters by simply sharing a Pepsi. Well that didn't go over very well...

On a more serious note, social media has brought many issues to the forefront of people's consciousness by exposing abuse and injustices throughout the world. For example, the use of social media has helped create reform and bring injustice to many serious issues. The result, however, can be emotionally exhausting.

Do you think social media should be used for political or controversial influence?
