This study aimed to assess the social media privacy perception of students in the University of Sharjah (UOS). This study used a quantitative method. 146 students voluntarily completed an online survey in english. The findings revealed two major results: A figure of 91% of students were active on social media platforms, with Snapchat and Instagram being the most popular choices. However, it was concerning that 92% of these students do not fully comprehend and do not read the terms and conditions of these platforms, pointing out a gap in awareness and digital literacy. Students expressed concerns about privacy breaches, with identity theft ranking as the top worry. The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) stringent legal framework imposing imprisonment and fines for cybercrimes was seen as a defensive factor. It is suggested by this study that increasing digital literacy among students is an important aspect to take into consideration, and that education in this area is imperative. |
