Abstract

In the digital age, social media has undoubtedly become an important platform for communication and sharing their personal lives. As user interactions and information exchanges become more frequent, it is crucial for the public to recognize the importance of data protection and disclosure on social media platforms. Therefore, social media privacy laws emerged to balance the trade-off between public safety and personal privacy. This paper examines user behavior data and evaluates the effectiveness of current privacy protection laws. The goal is to reveal the impact of legal provisions on user privacy protection and to provide insights for future legislation and policy adjustments. The widespread use of social media has given birth to many laws and regulations on privacy protection. To effectively evaluate the implementation effect of the legal policies, a comprehensive analysis of the behavior data of social media users is necessary. This study collected user data from many social platforms and analyzed users' behavior patterns on social media using data mining technology. Additionally, it focused on observing changes in user behavior before and after implementing privacy protection laws. The research indicated that after implementing the laws, users demonstrated more cautious behavior regarding data protection. It included being more careful about information sharing, managing their friend lists, and adjusting their account settings. These findings suggest that the relevant legal policies positively impact the public.
