Social media is a huge aspect
in people’s lives in today’s world. Due to this, being a social media
influencer is now a career option. For some celebrity’s and other social media
influencer’s advertising on their social media platforms is a part of their
job. But in a lot of cases these influencers are not researching the products
they are promoting to their followers, they’re simply promoting a product for a
pay check even if they have not used this product themselves. Yet in their ads for
the product they talk about how much “they love it and use it.” Companies use
influencer’s with a following as a marketing tool, and these influencer’s only
help sell the product to consumers even if doesn’t work which contributes to
the spread of disinformation. Despite this Instagram, “has largely escaped
scrutiny” however, “the platform is likely where the next great battle against
misinformation will be fought.”
