It is safer to completely avoid entering social media sites. However, there is no harm in it for those who avoid prohibitions and observe the Shariah controls in dealing with those they add or who add them. It is worth noting that the Lawgiver blocked the means leading to the temptation of a woman or others being tempted by her, such as the command to lower the gaze, the prohibition for a woman to display her adornment and to speak softly, and the command for her to stay in her home. Social media sites are not safe, and their prohibitions are many.
