Different kinds of fasting

[TonyChanYT]

Food fasting was commanded in the OT. However, people voluntarily practiced fasting for food and drink in OT and NT.

Paul wrote about sex and fasting in 1 Corinthians 7:

5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

If you want to fast from social media, that's fine, Luke 9:

23 If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

1 John 2:

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
