Social networking sites share many similarities and have specific differences. For the most part platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn all have a main goal to spread information, connect with other people, and build an internet influence. All can also be used to market an organization or company. However, we will dive into some details of each platform which make them different than others. Facebook for example, sustains a large user base but is more of a formality platform used by older generations and family minded users. While, Twitter is utilized from providing announcements by organizations, sharing opinions of people around the world, and much more. Twitter allows people to express and build a personality of their own. Compared to Twitter and Facebook, Instagram is a safe medium. It allows users to present their daily lives in a fun and unique way, while also having a level of formality within itself (also another reason it is so popular).

There are many other unique social media sites all with their own advantages, but the baseline will still remain constant: to network, learn, and grow from those on the platform.

This platform allows users to save all of their data and access it on any device in which they can log into their Microsoft Account. A user may create folders within OneDrive that are shared with other users and apply user roles based on access levels. Another popular tool created by Microsoft is Teams. Teams is organizational tool which is based off the concept of sharing files, managing tasks, and coordinating meetings with other group...
I find it very interesting that you call Instagram "The safe medium" of social media platforms. I like using Instagram as well and find it more useful than Facebook despite the face that Instagram is owned by Facebook. Unfortunately, Instagram suffers from the same data privacy issue as Facebook but Facebook's bad reputation is a lot more pronounced than Instagram.
