Creating a social media account is super easy, and through social media, we are allowed to share our thoughts without any kind of hesitation. It doesn't matter whether one person is an introvert or an extrovert; social media allows him/her to share his/her thoughts. Even it's possible to share thoughts without revealing identity. So, it can be said that social media is a place for exchanging the thoughts of people.

The power of social media is so powerful that it can create influences in most of the cases, and it is capable enough to make influence in national and international politics, as it is a common ground for exchanging thoughts for most people. In my opinion, both positive and negative impacts exist on social media when it comes to politics.

In the earlier days, people didn't have an understanding of politics. I believe that as a citizen of the country, each person should understand some basic things about politics. It helps to ensure general people understands the situation of a country. There are various kinds of tactics in politics, and if people can understand them, it helps them to understand whether the decisions of government are right or wrong. They can understand traps set by the government, also if they have knowledge of politics. Having a proper understanding of politics can help us judge the government, and in that case, we can appreciate the good works of the government, and on the other hand, we can criticize the government for its bad works.

Because of social media in the present time, people can understand politics quite well. Any political events are naturally discussed in detail on social media, and many knowledgeable people share their judgments and thoughts related to events, which helps others to understand them better. So people can appreciate it, and at the same time, they can raise their voice if the government is trying to do something bad. The part of social media that is capable enough to change a government also does so if the government does something bad.

Let's talk about the negative impact. Because of social media, people can't share their biased thoughts related to politics. Such a thing can create controversy easily. Because of controversy, the clash in the real world can occur, and there are many histories of such kinds of clashes that started from social media. It can create an unstable situation in a country.

In a word, the influence of social media in politics is huge. People believe those things that are presented in front of them on social media, which can be good or bad. That is the reason governments always try to restrict users from saying something offensive against them on social media. So, in politics, the influence of social media is quite powerful.
