This study attempts to investigate the attitudes of Japanese social media users with regard to their personal data provision on social media sites and the social responsibility of social media companies in terms of personal data handling. In order to accomplish the purposes of the study, a questionnaire survey and follow-up interviews were conducted. The survey results revealed that the respondents used social media as they like regardless of their recognition of social media companies' and other companies' ways of using personal data they provided on social media sites. Many of the respondents appeared to prefer online socialisation to privacy protection, even though they felt vaguely insecure about their privacy when using social media. Considering the significant influence of social media over users' mental status, identity, autonomy and intellectual freedom, social media companies should provide users with comprehensive and clear explanations about how they collect, store, use, share and sell personal data to take their social responsibility.
