Breaches of Personal Data Protection on Social Networks under the EU General Data Protection Regulation

This article analyzes, in a theoretical and practical way, the General Personal Data Regulation, which underpins the right of personal data subjects to lawful, fair, and transparent management and processing of their personal data, ensuring a high level of full confidentiality. The right to the protection of personal data is the right to privacy, namely the general data protection regulation adopted by the European Union, which covers and extends the rights of personal data subjects. In this article, the author presents the basic rights of a personal data subject to personal data protection and analyzes violations of personal data controllers and/or processors on social networks, insufficient protection, and peculiarities of the unimplemented regulation. Only the proper and full implementation of the Regulation can protect personal data subjects from privacy breaches and personal data controllers and/or holders from breaches of the Regulation
