Abstract
In the Internet age, social media networks (SMNs), such as Facebook (FB), Instagram
(IG), and Twitter (TW), have gained popularity and become an essential part of human
life. SMNs provide ease of connection to family, friends, and communities; however,
they increase the chances social media network users (SMN users) will disclose private
information (PI), causing critical harm to SMN users’ information privacy (IP).
Furthermore, SMN users are exposed to significant amounts of disinformation,
misinformation, or fake news, which they share without realizing the information is
untrustworthy.
