Maqasid-based protection assessment model for user-generated content / Sharifah Aliman

Social media applications allow users to not only generate their own content (user-generated content(UGC)) but also to share with other social media users. Due to the dynamics and real-time publications of social media, many social media users lack the ability to think deeply or to acknowledge the n...

Computer Science Social media applications allow users to not only generate their own content (user-generated content(UGC)) but also to share with other social media users. Due to the dynamics and real-time publications of social media, many social media users lack the ability to think deeply or to acknowledge the negative impacts of their content that could harm on themselves or others in similar situations. The purpose of this research is to investigate how social media users protect themselves and others whilst using various social media. Literature shows that the disseminated food-based UGC without a filtering phase as this may contain disinformation and misinformation that can lead to such risks as false rumours, deception, panic situations, loss of credibility and a loss of reputation. In contrast to Western humanistic theories, Islamic principles offers an integral spiritual facet on protection measures that may serve as a form of self-awareness and self assessment instrument for social media users and their online activities. Thus, this study proposes a new protection assessment model based on the Maqasid Al-Shariah framework. The model accentuates the essentials (called darurriyat in Arabic) dimensions of Maqasid Al-Shariah, which embraces the protection of faith, life, intellect, property and posterity. The study will design a Maqasid-based protection assessment model (named the MQPA model) that will be used for personal food blogs because blogs are still a prime social media issue in Malaysia.

description Social media applications allow users to not only generate their own content (user-generated content(UGC)) but also to share with other social media users. Due to the dynamics and real-time publications of social media, many social media users lack the ability to think deeply or to acknowledge the negative impacts of their content that could harm on themselves or others in similar situations. The purpose of this research is to investigate how social media users protect themselves and others whilst using various social media.
