Purpose This study concentrates on assessing the research productivity in the domain of social media security in the past decades. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric review on social media using various bibliometric indicators. Design/methodology/approach A total of 8,121 scientific publications were retrieved from Scopus database from period 1998 to 2021 using associated keyword search. This study also used VOSviewer© tool to evaluate the network visualisation. Findings The result of this study revealed that there is a steady growth of annual publications except for the years 2015 and 2016. A total of 8,121 scientific publications and 80,454 total citations were found with 11.2 average citations per publication. The USA, China and India were top productive countries in terms of publishing research in the field; Chinese Academy of Sciences secured top position with 126 publications in highly productive organisation in the domain. The lecture notes in computer science from Springer Nature received a highly produced title with 553 publications and 4,453 total citations. For co-occurrence of author’s keywords, network visualisation analysis revealed that “Social Media”, “Social Network”, “Security”, “Privacy” and “Trust” found maximum occurrence in the domain of social media security. Research limitations/implications This study provides comprehensive research status of social media security by performing a bibliometric analysis. The findings of this study will help relevant researchers to understand the research trend, pursue scientific collaborators and enhance research topic preferences. Originality/value The rareness of this study, detailed bibliometric analysis on the domain of social media security, is proven using numerous bibliometric indicators and application of VOSviewer in the domain.

The present study analyzed the issue of right to privacy vis-à-vis CCTV surveillance. The usage of CCTV surveillance has grown in recent years. Governments and individuals are using CCTV surveillance for reducing the risk of crimes and to get proper information of crime. Technological enhancement should be used for making life better and safe. It has been found that mishandling of CCTV surveillance results in violation of the right to life with dignity.

The study put prominence on the proper usage of CCTV surveillances.  It is essential that the right of privacy should not be violated and the usage will give fruitful results.  There are always two sides of the coin. CCTV surveillance has its own pluses and drawbacks and the same is narrated in the present study. Whenever it is done without proper precautions then it may enter into the private life of a person without taking their consent. Photographs and clippings of private moments are divulged and it is the annexation of the privacy of people. It is uncomfortable. It is very difficult to keep balance between uprightness and evil in the era of technological advancement. The study put emphasis on the germane usage of CCTV surveillances rather than cluttered. The right to privacy is associated with dignity, freedom and liberty. It shall not be hampered by technological expansion.
