Abstract: Social media has become a part of everyday life, and one of the most pertinent subjects for development in this industry has been strengthening the security of such platforms so as to increase the privacy of their users. This paper reviews the ethical and legal implications with respect to the privacy concerns of users pertaining to social media, and the significance of well-regulated social platforms. Various issues related to social media privacy violations, the risks and consequences of using social networking sites along with the frameworks implemented to regulate these platforms have been discussed in this study. The paper ends by suggesting ethical practices and steps that can be undertaken to mitigate privacy concerns to make social media usage a more secure experience.
