1.1 The impact of social media on the constitutional right to Privacy in

1.1.1 This reflection on the right to privacy in South Africa highlights the
necessity for ongoing dialogue and adaptation within the legal system to
uphold the values enshrined in the Constitution, particularly as they relate to
the ever-changing dynamics of social media and its implications for personal
privacy
1.1.2 social media has significantly impacted the constitutional right to privacy
by blurring the lines between public and private life. Users often share personal

continues to evolve, so too must the interpretations of privacy rights in the
digital age, highlighting the need for updated legal standards to protect
individuals.
