As we all know we share lot of information in social media, which is accessible by anybody around the world. Do you really think this is a threat to the consumers? Do consumers try to protect themselves from unauthorized access to thier information through social media?
Some consumers and citizens accept a partial loss of privacy in order to benefit from the information services used in new online media, including those available on popular social media portals. Some citizens are not fully aware of the scale of privacy loss. Most citizens do not know how much information about them is provided by key online information providers on new media, including social media. Recently, there have been discussions about the possibilities of potential applications of 5G technology in the context of using the Internet to collect data on citizens, companies, institutions, etc. for the purpose of analyzing them using, among others, sentiment analysis determining the opinions of Internet users on specific topics or defining the brand recognition of the company, assessing the offer products or services by Internet users. In recent years, the scope of applications of Big Data technologies and Data Science and Data Analytics analytics in economics, finance and management of organizations, including enterprises, financial and public institutions, has been increasing. Therefore, the importance of implementing analytical instruments for advanced processing of large data sets in enterprises, financial and public institutions, i.e. the construction of Big Data Analytics platforms for supporting organization management processes in various aspects of operations, including the improvement of customer relations, is also growing. In my opinion, scientific research confirms the strong correlation between the development of Big Data technology, Data Science analytics, Data Analytics and the effectiveness of the use of knowledge resources. I believe that the development of Big Data technology and Data Science analytics, Data Analytics and other ICT information technologies, multi-criteria technology, advanced processing of large information sets, and Industry 4.0 technology increases the efficiency of using knowledge resources, including in the field of economics, finance and organization management. In recent years, ICT information technologies, Industry 4.0 etc. have been developing dynamically and are being used in knowledge-based economies. These technologies are used in scientific research and business applications in commercial enterprises and in financial and public institutions. Due to the growing importance of this issue in knowledge-based economies, an important issue is the analysis of the correlation between the development of Big Data technology and Data Science analytics, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence and the effectiveness of using knowledge resources to solve key problems of development of business entities. In recent years, the use of 5G technology to collect data from the Internet can significantly contribute to improving the analysis of sentiment of Internet users' opinions and the possibility of extending the use of research techniques carried out on Business Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Data Science and other research techniques using ICT information technologies , internet and advanced data processing typical of the current fourth technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0. Most consumers of online information services available on new online media, including social media portals, do not have full awareness of the level of risk of sharing information about them on these portals. I conduct research in this area. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal. I invite you to cooperation.

Their is always a threat when placing your information in the public domain!! Most social media platforms do no charge consumers, so they must make their revenue from somewhere, i.e. advertising revenue. The major marketing attraction of social media is the rich consumer demographic and usage metrics/analytics, which are harvested from members of their digital platforms.
It is very tough to say privacy issues are not critical to consumers since there's very little data regarding that. However, consumers of social media focuses so much on conveying their messages instead of their privacy. Apparently quite a good number of social media users are aware of some of the dangers associated with it especially malicious users taking advantage of other users using social engineering and other techniques. It is an area worth researching on and i will be glad to collaborate.
We can't give a general judgment for all consumers. In my opinion if consumers are aware of the risks of the social media ; they will take a suitable measure to be safe. At the other hand always there's some trade of between using free social media and privacy issues.
INGLÉS ESPAÑOL PORTUGUÉS 122/5000 I believe that yes, many potential consumers can deviate from the commercial concept, when their privacy is violated. Enviar comentarios
Yes, for example your face or another person face in the photo that you have been posted in the social network will be use improperly.
obviously, there is a great concern of every consumer or a user of social media because he is sharing a lot of his personal information with such forums especially location and pictures. These information could be used by unauthorized bodies without the permission of consumer.
It is very unfortunate that its mostly a prerequisite to supply personal information first before having access to certain services online like online purchases. This might have a direct impact on the privacy of customers. To make matters worse, most customers do not even read the privacy policies to see the "dos and don'ts", concerning how privacy will be upheld. It is always good to have control of how one's personal information will be used (maybe through consent) and how their privacy will be respected in all the transactions. Companies need to be guided by privacy principles when dealing with customers online.
Dear Manu Vasudevan Unni,
The short answer: yes, privacy issue in social media is a major concern for consumers. However, as it is pointed out, it is necessary to establish the awareness of consumers on how personal information is gathered and used by organisations (both service and goods providers). Privacy concerns and consumer willingness to provide sensitive or personal information Information has been one of the topics that attracted the attention of researchers. I would argue that even though the emergence in technology has changed how data is gathered and manipulated, the concern people have about their sensitive information remains the same. However, the fact that the implication of the potential misuse of information put in social media is huge, consumers are starting to get worried about their privacy.
Best regards

In social media, for me there is very less privacy. If I remember, Mark Zuckerberg was being questioned for selling its user information to other organizations. From this, we have to understand that our information is no longer secure in social media. No matter how strong is your password or how strictly you post in social media.
As a consumer, I'm concern about my privacy. I give my email and contact to purchase staff from online and some one else is calling or email ( mail advertisement) me and try to sell other staff that I don't want. Yes it is disturbing and how they get my number or why I'm seeing these advertisement in my email or FB or other social media accounts where I use my email? These are some concerning questions playing in my head.
Hop my perception will helpful to you. Thank you.
Privacy is a big deal! Everybody should be aware that their private data can (and will) be used against them at some point.
Yes I think privacy issues in social media is a major concern for consumers. Actually I think that the lack of awareness in privacy issues is a real thread to us, and everyone should pay attention to privacy issues in social media.
Dear Manu Vasudevan Unni it is surely an ongoing concern however with the recent pandemic, the consumers shifted to more to "i want to reconnect with the world and get solutions now" approach and neglect the privacy concerns a little bit on social media. Hence, cybercrime increased tremendously.
When it comes to privacy and social media a lot of people easily take the stand of "Oh I don't mind, I don't have anything to hide", this is somewhat problematic because for one, I don't believe any form of social media site should have a full data on your day to day routine (via location services etc.). The second part that is deeply troublesome to me is that okay, let's say there is all this data and it is saved somewhere but it's not being used, how are they protected from potential hackers? It has happened to me countless of times where an app I didn't use but still had all the data from me that I consented to be used was hacked. It doesn't take alot for a hacker to gather all this information on you based on few social media sites that you use more frequently and put together information on you that can be used. I think transparency should be required from tech companies regarding what they use their data on. Social media users should also be much more curious and tentative to what they agree on and properly read the terms and conditions before they agree to them.
