Abstract

The social media are web-based software tools allowing users to create, share, and use contents generated in cyberspace individually or collectively. Virtual networks such as Instagram are among the social media that allow people to share photos and videos on a cellular and web-based network with special features for restricting photos into squares and using digital filters with more than 330 million users worldwide. In fact, according to Castells, with the advent of social networks today, the age of the masses has been replaced with the era of bilateral interactions in social networks. In this research, we examine the legal issues of social networks including the Instagram and review the possible offenses and their preventive measures
