“Social media law is a new direction for scientific research. Users of various social networking websites around the world are concerned about the protection and preservation of their personal data, the protection of copyright for content, including after the death of the user, as well as the security of conducting business when using them. Some disruptions in the work of social media (on March 20, 2021 and October 4, 2021, the work of Instagram, one of the most popular networks, was blocked for several hours) led to the inability to use accounts, including business ones. Freedom to register in social media networks can also cause problems that are not legally protected. The creation of fake accounts, the provision of inaccurate information, and various types of abuse ‒ all of these negatively affect the dynamics of the development of social networks and undermines the credibility of their owners. It is against this background that this essay proposes the author’s vision of the development of social media law. The author will be happy to develop the discussion in this area”
