Abstract
The latest development in human communication has seen the emergence of an unequivocally fundamental social networking distribution and digital info exchange. Yet, it has led to an unparalleled catastrophe with respect to the privacy of digital data, the ownership of that data, and the ability to control the flow of that information. Social media companies have increasingly become more advanced in the behavioural economics of social media engines, and the ways they obtain, handle, and commercially exploit the data of their users have become more pertinent and more elusive. This research report is painstakingly constructed and provides a thorough account of the many facets of the data privacy problem that currently exists in social media ecosystems. It examines the problem from a myriad of technical, psychological, legal, and ethical perspectives regarding the business of data collection and surveillance. This research report has been constructed using the PRISMA guidelines to review and analyse the literature. It is sufficiently extensive regarding the data, theories, and technology from the years 2014-2026
