Abstract

Privacy on social networking platforms is a crucial topic, especially privacy management on a popular social media platform such as Facebook, which needs critical consideration. In this regard, this study investigated “Demographic Differences on Facebook Privacy Management.” It employed a purposive sampling technique and surveyed 200 respondents. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS, including both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated that the respondents revealed significant differences based on their demographics, including age and gender, in their Facebook privacy management. Therefore, everyone should be aware of privacy management. Facebook users should be made safe by the Facebook administration and their users. It is recommended that users carefully share their information on Facebook so that they do not face any infringement of their privacy rights.  Finally, recommendations and limitations are discussed.
