Influence of digital social networks on the development of hypersociety

Abstract

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) has driv- en significant social transformation, creating diverse spaces for interaction and communication. Digital platforms, in particular, have played a crucial role in the vindication of human rights through cyberactivism, becoming essential venues for struggle, denunciation, and resistance. However, the impact of social networks is not without challenges, such as the spread of misinformation, cyberbullying, and addiction, which require advanced digital literacy and educational strate- gies for mitigation. This article explores how social networks have transformed communication, identity, and community, evaluating both their benefits in terms of empowerment and citizen participation, and the issues associated with their intensive use. It concludes that despite the challenges, social networks offer vast possibilities for human development and social transformation, provided they are approached with a balanced and ethical perspective.
