Gum media, also known as Chewing Gum base, is not inherently dangerous. However, swallowing large amounts of gum or consuming it in combination with other non-digestible materials could potentially lead to gastrointestinal blockages. The body cannot digest gum base, so it typically passes through the digestive system without being broken down. It is important to chew gum in moderation and dispose of it properly to avoid any potential health risks.

Media can be dangerous because it has the power to shape opinions, influence behavior, and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. If not used responsibly, media can spread misinformation, sensationalize events, and promote violence. Its wide reach and instantaneous nature can also make it difficult to control or regulate.
