Selena Gomez may be back on social media these days, but that doesn't mean she loves it.
The 26-year-old singer spoke about the danger of using services like Twitter and Instagram at a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Wednesday.
"I think our world is going through a lot. I would say, for my generation, specifically, social media has really been terrible," said Gomez, who is in Cannes to promote director Jim Jarmusch’sThe Dead Don’t Die. "It does scare me when you see how exposed these young boys and young girls are and they're not really aware of the news or anything going on. I think it’s dangerous for sure. I don’t think people are getting the right information sometimes."
"I think it’s pretty impossible to make it safe at this point," she continued. "I’m grateful I have the platform. I don’t do a lot of pointless pictures. For me, I like to be intentional with it. It just scares me. I’ll see these young girls at meet and greets. They are devastated, dealing with bullying and not being able to have their own voice. It can be great in moments. I would be careful and allow yourself some time limits of when you should use it."
