Abstract

Privacy violations on social media are increasingly becoming an important issue affecting interpersonal trust among the younger generation. Instances of account hacking, personal data leakage, and information misuse lead to a decrease in openness in sharing personal data. The impact of these violations reduces the quality of digital social relationships and worsens real-world social interactions. Young people, who are highly engaged in social media, are becoming more wary of others and of the social media platforms themselves. This study explores findings relating to the impact of privacy violations on interpersonal trust and how this shapes their social interactions. While social media offers ease of interaction, uncertainty regarding the protection of personal data leads to a decrease in trust between individuals. To address this issue, it is important for social media platforms to be more transparency in their privacy policies and improve personal data protection. In addition, educating the younger generation about the importance of maintaining privacy will help restore trust in social relationships and improve the quality of their interactions online. This study provides deeper insights into the relationship between privacy and trust in the digital age.
