Social media surveillance

Social media surveillance refers to the monitoring and analysis of social media platforms by governments, organizations, or companies to gather information about individuals or groups. This can include tracking public posts, analyzing user behavior, and identifying trends or sentiments. While it can be used for purposes like public safety or market research, concerns arise regarding privacy, consent, and potential misuse of the collected data. Essentially, it’s a way for entities to keep an eye on what’s happening online and how people are interacting, but it raises important questions about personal privacy and freedom of expression.
