Abstract
Social media is used daily by billions of people around the world. People use social media for many purposes from keeping up with family and friends, making business connections, marketing, and much more. Sharing information digitally makes it vulnerable for hacking and interception. End-to-end encryption provides a more secure way to transmit data and information. Location-based mobile social network services have been growing and increasing in activities in the past several years. There are a few attacked that can be used to cheat GPS verification. Location verification techniques and mitigation can limit location information accessed. We will discuss the security issues and solutions in social media platforms.

Social media is used daily by billions of people around the world. People use social media for many purposes from keeping up with family and friends, making business connections, marketing, and much more. Sharing information digitally makes it vulnerable for hacking and interception. End-to-end encryption provides a more secure way to transmit data and information. Location-based mobile social network services have been growing and increasing in activities in the past several years. There are a few attacked that can be used to cheat GPS verification. Location verification techniques and mitigation can limit location information accessed. We will discuss the security issues and solutions in social media platforms.
