Social Media Resistance

Social media resistance refers to the conscious or unconscious decision by individuals or groups to limit, avoid, or reject participation on social media platforms. This may stem from concerns about privacy, misinformation, mental health impacts, or a desire to disconnect from digital influences. People might unsubscribe, delete accounts, or reduce activity to maintain control over their personal life and well-being or to resist content they find harmful or distracting. In essence, it’s a form of critical engagement that reflects a choice to limit social media’s role in their daily lives.
