QUESTION 1
1.1
Social media significantly challenges the constitutional right to privacy by blurring the
boundaries between public and private life. Users voluntarily share personal information, often
without fully understanding how platforms collect, store, and distribute their data. This has led
to cases where private conversations, images, and personal details are exposed without
consent, violating individuals' privacy rights (H v W, 2013). Additionally, social media
companies track user behavior for targeted advertising, raising concerns about data protection
and surveillance. Courts have recognized that while individuals have a right to privacy, they
must also take reasonable steps to protect themselves online. However, legal frameworks
must evolve to address cyberstalking, data breaches, and unauthorized sharing of personal
content, ensuring that privacy remains protected in the digital age.
