A phenomenon that we suffer from on a daily basis, which is searching for the dominant trends or more views on YouTube.. the search for the dominant trends and reaching them may bring gains but it violates people's private lives, publishes incorrect news, promotes rumors and fake and baseless news, and attributes the news to any fake sources. Rather, sometimes a video or photo is fabricated to broadcast fake news to increase the number of views, followers, and "likes".. I do not deny that social media and artificial intelligence are a great treasure and have many positive aspects that have helped many people search for work or even work through it..and it may promote positive aspects, but some try to exploit the bad side of it..

We suddenly find exciting scenes, strange inventions, suspicious behaviors, or other actions that appear to be comedy and their main goal is to search for the trends such as rumors circulated on a daily basis about floating the pound, increasing the prices of strategic commodities, or their disappearance from the market. Sometimes it may take advantage of a temporary problem, such as an electricity or water outage, or an accident, to have interaction in any way.

Strange phenomena besieging us, but from my point of view this is chaos and addiction to fame and illicit gain that destroys values and morals and creates a new generation that seeks only for material gain.. Videos and stories enter homes, including foul words.. A world of chaos whose goal is to harvest views and make profits. 

We must have a legislation that protects privacy and puts controls on social media chaos that spreads rumors and circulates fake news.

Officials must provide the correct information and provide sources for obtaining it, the degree of awareness must be raised about the dangers of searching for the trends through the social media itself, satellite programs and newspapers. 

Psychiatry, family and social experts have warned from this danger and its negative effects on society, because it threatens human health, socially and psychologically, and increases isolation and introversion, but rather threatens the security of society by spreading lies, rumors and destructive ideas politically and economically, with rumors about the pound, investment, or prices, to become a tool to fight countries. We need a legislation and strict controls for social media.
