Recent scandals involving social media platforms primarily focus on data privacy and user safety. Meta (Facebook) is facing lawsuits over a data breach linked to Cambridge Analytica, with a proposed $725 million settlement for affected users [4]. Additionally, Meta is under scrutiny for allegedly not shutting down accounts of children under 13 on its platforms, despite collecting their data without parental consent [7]. There are ongoing investigations into a significant data leak affecting 530 million users [10], and multiple legal actions in the UK for misuse of personal data [2][3][8].
