Abstract

Privacy issues of social media accounts have been a hot topic in many countries as well as Internet communities. As a result, many concerns on privacy protection have been raised by users frequently, especially as the developing application of big data and intelligent information technology seems to gradually reduce the concealment of individual privacy. Besides, the extensive use of social media and similar platforms such as forums further expose the information of individuals to more people. This paper is going to focus specifically on the information privacy protection of the deceased users, by discussing two aspects: respectively from the perspective of regulation and the perspective of individual actions.
