Introduction 
	Users and cybersecurity experts alike are concerned about the loss of user privacy and protection on social media. Over the years, a growing debate regarding the relationship between social media and privacy has resulted from numerous data breaches. Data mining, phishing attempts, malware, spyware and ransomware distribution, as well as botnet attacks, have all scared social media users around the world. If a person is on the internet, according to Bazarova and Masur (2020), he or she is constantly under surveillance and his or her privacy is no longer private.
People enjoy sharing bits and pieces of their lives with the large global community that can only be accessed via social media. Users tend to share some private and sensitive information on the internet through social media while also sharing their opinions and lifestyles. Although some accept that social media protects the privacy of its users, yet the majority of people would disagree (Gerber, Gerber & Volkamer, 2018). Concerns about privacy and individual rights on social media include repurposing, deciding what data to expose to strangers when using social networking sites and so on. Users can also customize a number of settings on social networking sites, such as who can see their posts, who can send friend requests and whom they can contact. Personal information exchanged on the internet, however, runs the risk of being leaked because social media has no geographical boundaries.
	Concisely, the following critical appraisal tackles the issue of social media privacy and individual rights. It argues that, while social media has taken some necessary measures to ensure the highest degree of security for its users, there are still a number of security flaws. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of educating social media users about the idea of individual privacy in order to protect their personal information from being shared publicly.
Current Perspectives Regarding the Issue of Privacy on Social Media
	At first, it is significant to note here that the perceptions about the social media and the privacy issues have been expanded from limited analysis to the large picture of securing the data through various ways. There is a great necessity to see the possibilities of survival in the virtual world; the growth of the social media platforms is massive over the past two decades and the engagement of the people has grown on a massive level as well. Thus, the millions of users have come across several platforms where they can structure their social circle virtually. It is also perceived as the status symbol to have enormous “likes and followers”. The standpoint of fame and popularity is more like a social need now days for people. 
	Moreover, the dominance of social media is reckoned is stronger one than the physical building of the social structure. The individuals remain active on social media platforms, which they see as the best medium to project their social and cultural identity. The number of followers implies that the person is virtually popular but at the same time, the process enhances the vulnerability of the user over the platform as well. This perception is directly linked to the emotions of the users who are very much active over the social media platforms; they tend to present one aspect of their activities and get motivated to ‘share more’, when they the response of the users. This is one of the sensitive factors where the emotions play pivotal role in making the users a prey to the hands of the professionals who keep an eye on the free data or rather, open data that they can easily access. 
	The above can be understood by the example of the Facebook, Cambridge Analytica and the Trump’s campaign based scandal, which happened in 2018.
