1.1.1 Relevant Section in the Constitution of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996
The right to privacy is enshrined in Section 14 of the Constitution of the Republic
of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996, which states:
"Everyone has the right to privacy, which includes the right not to have— (a)
their person or home searched; (b) their property searched; (c) their
possessions seized; or (d) the privacy of their communications infringed."
1.1.2 Impact of Social Media on the Constitutional Right to Privacy
Social media platforms facilitate the widespread sharing of personal
information, often without full user awareness or consent. While individuals
willingly share aspects of their private lives, this information can easily be
accessed, stored, or disseminated beyond the intended audience. This
undermines the constitutional right to privacy, as platforms often fail to
adequately protect users from data breaches, cyberstalking, and unauthorized
surveillance. Furthermore, private conversations can be exposed publicly,
leading to reputational damage or even legal consequences, highlighting the
tension between the right to freedom of expression and the right to privacy in
the digital age.
