The high use of Internet has contributed to the high use of social media, especially in young people. Taking the case in Jakarta, this research explores the degree of privacy awareness from young people in urban context that use social media platforms. Specifically, this research aims to explore whether these young users are aware of the data that they share, how much control do they have with their data, the challenges and risks of sharing their personal data, and how they value their personal data.
This research used survey and interview as the instruments to collect the data. Respondents were 102 high school students from 8 schools in Greater Jakarta that actively uses social media platform.
