The use of social media can also add new contacts from all over the country and can search for disconnected contacts. Apps like WeChat, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are the best options for finding contact. We can choose our friends through this app. The comments to a person who is continually uploading will strengthen the relationship of fellow partners. For colleagues who have graduated they have lost contact. This social media can be used to search for a long-lost contact. Through social media they can know the career of a friend.

The element of pornography is readily available on the internet. The elements of pornography such as reading materials, pictures and videos are easily accessible and disseminated by those social media users. This is said to be because social media such as Facebook and My Space are accessed not only by Malaysians but even the entire population of the country can also access it. In addition, western cultures such as Black Metal, Punk, Gothic, and Skin Head will spread to teenagers in Malaysia, this will influence adolescents to imitate the culture so that there is a culture of hedonism and gangsterism in school. It is clear that the use of social media can influence the thinking of young people to erode the moral values of society.
Other effects of using social media over the internet led to the occurrence of many fraud and forgery. This is because, there are many cases of fraud happening especially among girls.

Next, the teenage girl will go to a place that has been expressed without a long thought. Nevertheless, upon arrival at the site stated by the social contact, they may be deceived and some have become victims of rape. But there are many other negative things that can happen to social media users if they do not use social media in the right way.
