Abstract	By virtue of its its characteristic features social media provides a unique platform to its users to share ideas/information without any hindrance or interruption. From social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber and Facebook Messenger, social media covers a broad universe of platforms that facilitate seamless communication to people residing in any part of the globe. Today more than 4.7 billion people use social media, that is equal to roughly 60% of the world’s population. This could be possible because of continuously increasing popularity of mobile technology and large scale penetration of smart phones across the world. The information flow on social media without any gate keeping has two aspects. On the positive side it’s a wonderful gift of science & technology to human beings that has made personal and professional life easy, provided ready-made solution to day to day problems, connected people residing in different corners of globe like family members and democratized the world of communication. But on the negative side, the uninterrupted flow of information on social media is far more dangerous than any evil spirit ever imagined. It can cause social disturbance and communal violence, prove to be an easy tool in the hands of mischief makers, peep into someone’s privacy, fleece innocent people, pose a threat to the national security and bring death and devastation in the society. Against this backdrop a rigorous research was done. The available literature on the topic was reviewed and a sample survey was conducted in Delhi & NCR to delve deep into the topic and find out answer to the research question - if the uninterrupted flow of information on social media is a boon or a bane to the society?
