Social media analytics (SMA) is presented as an essential resource for tackling these issues, providing techniques to gather, oversee, and interpret SM data to enhance security and protect privacy. The research also delves into predictive modeling to comprehend community behavior on SM, along with the effects of tailored services and user autonomy on privacy apprehensions in mobile applications. These findings underscore the pressing necessity for sophisticated cybersecurity informatics to protect users from the increasing threats present in the digital environment.
