Abstract

The rapid expansion and widespread adoption of social networking sites have created new security and privacy challenges for individuals. This study will assess users' awareness of the security and privacy measures and their understanding of potential risks and vulnerabilities. The study uses a quantitative survey to collect data on users' perceptions, understandings, and experiences about security and privacy on social sites. The results will be analyzed to identify trends, knowledge gaps, and user perceptions, providing insight into the current landscape of user perceptions and insights. The outcome of this study will be useful in formulating plans and recommendations to improve security measures and promote responsible online behavior among social network administrators, policymakers, and users. This study aims to provide users with the necessary knowledge to adequately protect themselves in the digital age by highlighting their awareness and understanding of security and privacy on social networks.
