More than half of the world's population are active social media users. People who spend time in this channel for different reasons, provide important personal data to social media companies and become a employee of these companies. In line with the increase in the use of social media, the increase in the number of illegal content such as cyberbullying and hate speech in this domain has forced countries to make legal regulations in controlling social media and establishing a safer cyber environment. Social media companies also regularly update their service and privacy agreements accordingly the regulations made by the countries. In our study, social media legal regulations and studies of selected countries and organizations were examined, service and privacy agreements of social media platforms were reviewed, and then domestic and national social media issues were discussed. In this regard; it has been observed that important legal regulations have been made to control social media, even in the countries that are accepted as the center of freedom of expression and democracy. It has been concluded that in the near future, regulations regarding the control of social media may evolve into the international arena. Due to the fact that the service and privacy agreements consist of long texts, are difficult to understand even if they are read, and contain ambiguous expressions, the conditions against the users are likely to arise. Within the scope of domestic and national social media works, action plans in which all stakeholders are included in the process are needed to be implemented in ensuring the security of Cyber Homeland.
