The Dark Side of Social Media Shopping

    In recent years, social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have become more than just places to connect with friends—they have also turned into popular shopping destinations. Many users are drawn to these platforms because of the convenience, affordable prices, and free shipping options. The ability to shop quickly through links or livestreams, often recommended by influencers or KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), has made online buying more attractive than ever. However, this trend has also led to a growing number of scams and misleading advertisements.

    One of the main reasons behind the rise of fake products and false advertising on social media is the lack of strict regulations. Many sellers do not need to provide business licenses or verify the quality of their products. As a result, some individuals take advantage of customers’ trust and sell low-quality or counterfeit items. Additionally, some KOLs promote these products without checking their authenticity, motivated by the money they earn from advertising deals.

    This situation has caused many problems for consumers. Customers who order products online may receive items that look very different from what was shown in the advertisements, or they may not receive anything at all. Many people have lost money and become afraid to shop online. The reputation of influencers who promote fake goods is also damaged, which makes people doubt other trustworthy sellers. Overall, these dishonest practices have made the online shopping environment less safe and more confusing.

    To solve this issue, both customers and platforms must take action. Social media companies should create stricter rules for sellers and ask influencers to clearly label paid advertisements. Customers should be careful when buying products online, especially from unknown brands or sellers without reviews. Governments can also help by introducing new laws to protect consumers and punish those who break the rules. With cooperation from all sides, social media can become a safer place to shop.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, from healthcare to education. However, as AI technologies advance, the risk of AI abuse also increases. AI abuse refers to the misuse of AI systems to harm individuals or manipulate society. Common forms include deep fake videos, where faces and voices are digitally altered to create fake content, and data manipulation, which involves AI algorithms influencing public opinion through misleading information. AI abuse is a growing concern as these systems become more accessible, raising ethical and safety issues for individuals and societies alike.

    [I] One example of AI abuse is in social media, where AI-driven bots spread false information. [II] These bots, designed to imitate real users, can post, comment, and interact with others, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake content. [III] As a result, they can change opinions on political and social issues, sometimes with harmful consequences. The speed at which these bots operate allows misinformation to spread rapidly, posing challenges for fact-checkers and social media platforms in controlling false narratives. [IV]

    Another area where AI abuse has gained attention is privacy invasion. Facial recognition technology, for example, is often used by authorities for security. However, some private organisations use it without consent, tracking individuals in public spaces and selling the information to advertisers. This practice violates personal privacy and has sparked a debate about the ethical use of AI.

    To combat AI abuse, experts suggest stricter regulations and improved awareness. Laws need to address emerging technologies and prevent the misuse of AI systems. Additionally, educating the public on identifying AI-generated content can empower individuals to navigate the digital world safely. As AI continues to evolve, establishing clear ethical guidelines will be essential to prevent its harmful uses and to ensure that AI remains a tool for positive change.
