Gomez, which has more than 150 million followers, is the most followed person on Instagram after football star Cristiano Ronaldo and pop singer Ariana Grande, said at a press conference at the International Film Festival. Cannes that she "was scared" when she was watching the exhibition of girls and boys on these platforms.
"They are not aware of the news or anything," she said. "It's selfish – I do not mean selfish because it's rude – but it's dangerous, that's for sure."
"I think our world is going through a difficult time, of course, but for my generation in particular, social media has been terrible," she said.
The 26-year-old actress and singer is in Cannes to promote Jim Jarmusch's new zombie movie, "The Dead Don's Die", which also stars Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Tilda Swinton.
When asked what else she could do to improve the social media environment, given the large number of her readers, Ms. Gomez said it was "impossible" at this stage to make it safe. She also said that she was trying to be aware by posting on Instagram, to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on her fans.
"I am very grateful to have the platform in any way, I can always share things that fascinate me," she said. "I do not do a lot of unnecessary photos, I like to be intentional with that."
"I see these girls, I will meet them and they are devastated by intimidation and can not have their own voice."
She also called on people to take breaks in the use of social media: "This can be great at times, but I would just be careful and I would give you a time limit to use them or not."
Last year, Gomez got goose bumps and went to hang out for posting a picture of the bikini on his Instagram account after a kidney transplant. She responded by posting about body positivity.
