'I think our world is going through a lot, obviously. But for my generation specifically, social media has been terrible,' says singer Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is voicing her concern about the"terrible" effect that social media has had on her generation, and says she advocates taking breaks from the platforms.

Gomez, who, with more than 150 million followers, is the most followed person on Instagram after soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and pop singer Ariana Grande, said during a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival that she gets"scared" when she looks at the exposure of young girls and boys on those platforms. "They're not aware of the news or anything going on," she said.

Maybe she's on to something. God knows most can't keep anything private and social media has single handedly destroyed real communication and compassion across America...

And who's around and in social media alot? Its the said generation's. So they've made that to themselves.

I like what she said 😒

Agree, cnn and msnbc has lied to you since birth. How were you to know?

I think she's heroic. I don't think many people are worthy of that descriptor.

I agree. If they aren't being bullied they are the bullies, they are also obsessed with it .

Just like the Liberal Fake news propaganda machine who lower the IQs of their faithful perpetually. Imagine if fake news CNN actually produced news or attempted to produce an actual solution to anything. How can be so massive and literally never help anyone?

Finally !!! Listen to her. She’s right. Just look at the correlation between teen suicides and the advancement in smart phone and social media technology. That’s just one metric. There are many others - like attack’s on school teachers and school shootings. Wake up

No doubt. One of the best inventions is the worst

Then stop using it!!!

Yeah she's such a legitimate social analyst ,,,please ,,cut me a break . Stars have it so hard waaaaay waaa

And you got caught by saying Americans are the most stupidest people on on camera 3 yrs ago

I liked t better when it was The Facebook!

Translation... 🙄

There are almost no more french or english young men and women leaving to live the Isis caliphate dream .... That's a very good thing.

Well, the world minus the ISIS caliphate is already doing much better.

lovebscott Facts 💯

Well I agree but that the profession you went in and it comes with the territory.❤️

💯

Again?

Fake news

CNN HASN'T HELPED ANY EITHER.

Social media is 100% one of the best things that has ever happened to humanity. Never before have public forums been so accessible to so many. The idea that because fakeness and bad ideas exist within social media, that it’s “terrible” is just childish. Grow up.

Who is Selena Gomez, and why would anybody care what she thinks?

Social media isn’t so much the problem as the people on it

They should have named it antisocial media.

Maybe she should take over the BeBest messaging? selenagomez

Need to censor

Yep ! I agree ~

CNN FakeNews propaganda Lying enemyofthepeople

She didn’t lie

Exactly what I feel as well! That's what I was trying to say in my previous tweet. socialmedia SelenaGomez CNN selenagomez

didnt she make headlines a couple of years ago for being the first on instagram to get 100 million followers

I agree it has no restrictions on what age can access what

I beg to differ. We are what's terrible.

It finally happened. I agree with a cnn report

Yeah i am sure the children in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and everywhere else Americans have visited feel the same way.. Social media have been terrible for them......

Tell me more, cnn. WTF I know it’s paid content, but by Memorial Day? Shameful.

Probs more like the ‘behavior’ of some people on Social Media. Set yourself a standard to talk in type the way you do in front of people to their face and it should be good. Best stay off it until 26 🙄 and a confident person with debate skills 😁

Its not just young people its everyone

It really is horrible these kids are really getting out of hand and social media influences their underdeveloped minds....there needs to be a limit to how much they can use or the platform limits the stupidity it allows to be seen

100% true

Imagine there's no social media

She's right you know.

Then shut up and stay off of it.

in reality, it is growing faster and powerful than the corporate elite would like. This isn't terrible, it is progress. We don't live in the control of the oligarchy elite (industrial age). Instead, we live in an age that is changing constantly.

Millenials are smart and intelligent - but- every generation has its addiction & Generation Z's 'dope' is SocialMedia 👎👎👎

No Hollywood has been terrible to her and many other young child stars. And probably their shitty parents too.

no no young people have been terrible for social media this shit doesn’t use and abuse itself people do that.

I couldnt agree more.

selenagomez social media on twitter is like AOL Classic and GOLD chat rooms, there is an ignore button for those so called bad axe bullies, 1 click and they are muted or blocked, the ones bullying are few in numbers so it wont take many clicks

Yeah it's not good, social media is weird.
