Social Media Platform Safety - Concerns of Users, Obligations and Ethical Requirements of Users and Providers
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Cyber Security
Abstract
There are growing concerns on the security of the data of individuals on social media. As users are oblivious of the consequence, even those who are aware have little to do when to protect themselves. Although governments are working on policies to protect individuals, there is a joint responsibility of platform providers and users to achieve the needed goal. This paper seeks to look at the obligations and ethical requirements for both users and providers.
