Social media is comprised of a variety of web-based platforms, applications, and technologies through which people interact socially with one another online. Examples of social media sites are Facebook, WeChat, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, and Parler. Social media is used for both personal and professional reasons as it is a highly interactive platform. Individuals and organizations can create, disseminate, discuss, and participate in usergenerated content.

When does content become “public” and available for public consumption? Should content that is available within the public domain of social media be available for data mining?
