Benefitting from the advantages of the Internet, social media provides people with unlimited freedom. Of course, such a limitless freedom can sometimes be limited by censorship. As individuals have various applications in social media networks, their self-confidence starts to rise to a high level. Because this area provides an environment to prove themselves.

       The use of social media by many people including politicians can no longer lead to the elimination of traditional media. Politicians demanding to reach young audiences and ensure their confidence makes both sides to become closer to using social media. The use of internet and social media in every branch of politics is attractive in terms of the opportunities it offers and increases its attractiveness day by day.
