Question

Governments and industry associations are trying to control social media privacy abuses through legislation and professional standards, which frequently provide adequate protection.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

With the recent increase in the number of social media users, there's been an increasing need for the protection of users from abuse and bullying. The government has taken a few steps in the control and regulation of social media contents and interactions through legislation and rules to govern social media conduct. Sadly, this isn't enough and has not had adequate impact in stemming social media abuse.

Today social media bullying is still rampant despite the measures put in place. It is therefore necessary for the government to enforce the punishment of violators of social media rules and regulations. Perpetrators of hate speech on social media need to be prosecuted.
