Causal research methods were employed to establish the causal relationship between independent variables (such as Social Media Privacy Settings, Information Leakage Prevention Strategies, User Awareness Programs, and Platform Trustworthiness and Reputation) and environmental variables, which in turn affect the Dependent Variable (User Trust in Social Media Platforms).

The research findings indicate that User Trust in Social Media Platforms is influenced by social media privacy settings, information leakage prevention strategies, user awareness programs, and platform trustworthiness. Nonetheless, this study possesses certain limitations, which will be elaborated upon in subsequent chapters. Furthermore, suggestions for future research will also be proposed |
