The rich forms of expression and interaction modes of social media drive users to self-disclosure,and personal privacy is at risk of being leaked under active disclosure and the scrutiny of others.We Chat,as a social application with a wide audience,has become an important platform for showing oneself and socialising with others.Young users,as the main force,have a high degree of self-disclosure,and privacy settings enable users to express and hide their privacy,which is widely used by young users,who are increasingly concerned about privacy.Young people are a generation that has grown up with the internet and are active in social media,choosing to actively disclose personal information to exchange resources with others.Unlike other anonymous social networking software,the presence of acquaintances makes it easier for users to share information in order to interact with others and maintain interpersonal relationships,and the more privacy information disclosed,the more insecure users feel and the more they tend to manage their privacy.It is therefore important to explore the motivations behind young users’ use of privacy settings in their We Chat friendships,the characteristics of their use,the contextual processes they use,and the impact they have.The study of these issues will help social media users to gain a more comprehensive understanding of privacy issues in social media,to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of social media use on their lives and social lives,and to enable them to engage in healthy online socialising in a safer information environment.
