The Effect of Socia Media

Abuse of Information

However, social media has side effects as well as advantages. First, it has a bad impact on young groups’ mental health, especially teenagers. Social media users were also worried about the risks of judgment or ridicule or unsolicited attention on the Web and, more seriously, “abuse” or bullying (Golder, 2017). Golder (2017) insisted on the vulnerability of young people strongly. Young people such as teenagers are vulnerable to the risks, so caution to counteract this vulnerability is required. Example: information about taboo and sexual orientation.

Personal Informative Privacy

Personal privacy is an important factor of security on social media. Most social media have the users’ informative privacy, and a privacy policy is a part of any social media site. However, the users are still concerned about their informative privacy. A lot of privacy policy statements are often lengthy and full of perplexing legal phrases that can be vague and confusing to users (Koohang, 2018). Fox and Royne (2018) also said “However, given the tendency for privacy statements to be written using highly technical language, it is uncertain if social media users truly understand how their private information is being used, even if they have implemented privacy controls.” This barrier to accessing privacy policy and statements leads to the social media users’ anxiety about the security issue and social media might lose their trust.
