Abstract

This article will revisit the social media issues in the context of the Data Protection legislative framework and the extent to which the notion of 'data controller' could extend to individuals. The main contribution is that the discussion will add to the debate on the blurring of the distinctions drawn between public and private spheres and whether what is published on social media should be deemed to be private or in the public domain. This paper will revisit the concept of 'data controller' in the context of social media and consider the extent to which users are entitled to the 'privacy' of data they share on a social media platform. It will also cover some of the forthcoming changes introduced under the proposed Data Protection Regulation including the 'right to be forgotten'.
