Social and political behaviour relies much on communication. However in
Islamic teaching, these human to human behaviours need to comply with
the al-Quran and Sunnah that will be realized as adab and akhlaq or in
other words ethics. This human to human relationship is founded by human
to Allah relationship that will give rise to ibadah and taqwa. In Islam ,
privacy of another person is held in high respect. One should not pry in
another person personal life or space because it is considered unethical
thus not a good sign of taqwa. In the digital world, with the advancement
of Internet that gave birth to social network, ethics, privacy and security is
important concern. This study looks at privacy and security from the Islamic
perspectives. A survey was conducted with 200 social network users using
snowball sampling to find put their awareness of privacy and security related
issues on social network. The study showed that majority of users are not
aware even some do not even bother on the privacy and security issues.
Thus, a user oriented privacy model was proposed that will protect users
information by default unless the user set it otherwise. It will give more
control to users on what to share on the social media with the public. (Retrieved from the article)
