A Study on User Privacy Information Sharing and Boundary Management on Social Media

Abstract

This article aims to study and analyze issues related to user privacy information sharing and limitation management on social media. It examines the actions users take regarding information sharing in various situations and proposes effective privacy management measures to help users better secure their personal privacy. Based on survey data, the analysis makes two key assumptions: first, there is a negative correlation between users’ reception of privacy management policies and the frequency of experiencing privacy information leaks; second, there is a positive correlation between the reception of privacy management policies and users’ privacy management actions. The analysis reveals several findings: privacy information management practices are generally prevalent among social media users, users face significant challenges in managing privacy information, and most social media users have experienced personal privacy information leaks. These insights are crucial for understanding privacy management actions in social media environments and for developing effective privacy management policies.
