as
Social media has had a significant impact on the constitutional right to privacy in South
Africa. With the widespread use of social media platforms, individuals are often sharing
personal information and experiences with a large audience, potentially compromising
their right to privacy. This has led to an increased risk of privacy breaches, cyberbullying,
and the dissemination of sensitive information without consent. Additionally, social media
companies often collect and use personal data for targeted advertising and other
purposes, raising concerns about the protection of individuals' privacy rights. As a result,
the courts are facing the challenge of interpreting and applying constitutional privacy
rights in the context of rapidly advancing technology and changing social norms. It is

uphold the right to privacy in the digital age
