Social Networking sites have become the most efficient and effective means of communication and information sharing. Social networks provide an online space for people to share their personal information. As a result of such increased usage and sharing of information through these sites, negative entities such as hackers have found an easy way to steal the users' personal information and exploit them. To keep personal information private is the challenge and has been a matter of concern for every user. The reason behind this is the increased number of attacks and difficulties faced while protecting the personal data against attacks and threats. This paper aims to discuss various data privacy threats which persist for the people on social media platforms, various prevention techniques and also to discuss the proposed technique to avoid and possibly prevent such attacks on privacy
