Results of research conducted by Ufuophu-Biri and Iwu (2014) concluded that high school students use social media significantly for prostitution.…”

If in the past, promotion of sexual services was done face to face – on the streets or brothels – but now it has turned to social media. Data shows that online prostitution continues to increase because it can be accessed easily on social media. Social media, with its more open communication, is considered adequate for the promotion of commercial sex services. The purpose of this study is to get an overview of the interaction and communication with regards to online promotion of prostitutions on social media. Netnography is the research method chosen. The results of the study concluded that in the interaction regarding prostitution on social media and communication between fellow perpetrators is very open and vulgar. Commercial sex workers and pimps are the main promoters of the services offered. The message conveyed includes the services offered, ways of payment, and rules of the game accompanied by terms and conditions that are commonly used among actors. The use of the hashtag (#) by service providers helps facilitate the promotion and search for customers. In addition to the timelines used by actors, social media commentary, and the direct message (DM) feature are also used for communication purposes. Furthermore, if there has been an agreement between the actors, an extension of the private communication is continued through instant messaging such as talking about time, location of the service, payment and sharing of testimonials from previous customers. Keywords: Communication, cyber, interaction, online prostitution, social media.

“…This scheme can help to improve the students' self-assessment and their motivation when it comes to learning and academic performance. Mahir et al (2021) have reported that the use of social media among students negatively influences their academic performance. On the one hand, according to evidence from the literature, the unnecessary heavy use of social media, especially when unmonitored, ultimately distracts students because they tend to deviate from participating in educational activities and divert their attention to non-academic activities.…”

“…Students who waste more time on social media will likely have a lower GPA than those who spend less or no time on virtual platforms. On the other hand, social media use by students for academic purposes can positively affect the academic performance of students (Mahir, Faridah, & Norzita, 2021).…”

Social media tools for communication, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, have become important with the development of information and communication technology. In the field of higher education, university students are increasingly using social media to study and live. Consequently, university students and social media use have become a research topic of practical significance. Scholars in Malaysia have investigated this issue, and the results abound. However, few scholars have reviewed the research results of social media use among university students in Malaysia. By using the literature research method, this study reviews the latest research findings on social media use among students, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. This study summarizes the collected literature into three themes: first, the relationship between social media use and academic performance of university students; second, the social media addiction of university students; and third, the relationship between social media use and mental health of university students. Simultaneously, this study presents the ways of thinking and contributions of scholars to address the aforementioned issues. Finally, this study critically examines the research limitations and blind spots, as they need further exploration by scholars and can serve as innovative points of this topic.
