With the advanced communication technologies, social media has begun to have an important place in human life. Social sharing networks, which cannot move independently of the society in which they live, host users from all ages and create the ground for the free circulation of ideas compared to the traditional media. Online platforms that differ from traditional media, fast and technology-based, also have cultural and sociological dimensions. However, Media Anthropology and Digital Anthropology studies also address social media from different perspectives, studying human behavior in the virtual environment. The common characteristics of bacterial and viral pandemics on Earth are that they have formed a new world order from a political and ideological point of view, through the fears of society. The pandemics that have weakened or even destroyed the rooted states in the past are a major threat to humanity. Covid-19, known as the new coronavirus, is also obvious to have an effect in this sense. In this study, social media will be discussed from the point of view of digital anthropology and the role social media acquired in the Covid-19 pandemic. In the light of the latest developments throughout the world, the relationship between social media and the new world order will be sharpened in the ever-digitalized world.
