Social media is spreading rapidly in Yemen, but if misused, its effects can be detrimental, much like cancer. It is crucial to raise awareness about social media's negative consequences and highlight strategies for preventing the younger generation from becoming ensnared in its pitfalls. So, we have suggested some solutions to be on the safer side of digital media while helping the youth to be aware of their negative consequences.

Synopsis: In an uncharted digital landscape, can war-torn Yemen withstand its growing challenges? As digital media dominates daily life, a divided Yemen faces unprecedented obstacles. From the unchecked spread of misinformation amid weak governance to rising electronic addiction and mental health crises, its impact on Yemenis is profound. This study highlights the lack of awareness, weak regulations, and the increasing struggle to access reliable information. Yet, there is hope. Through innovative strategies, reliable information platforms, the promotion of critical thinking, and policy reform, Yemen’s youth are shaping a more informed and responsible digital future. This document explores the risks, consequences, and solutions needed to build a healthier media landscape for modern Yemeni society.
