With the widespread popularity of social media, the issue of user information security has become increasingly prominent. This paper focuses on the protection mechanisms for user information security on social media platforms, analyzing the current state, existing problems, and improvement strategies. The study reveals that, although protective mechanisms have evolved, they still face risks such as data breaches and privacy invasions. Suggestions to strengthen technical protections, refine laws and regulations, and enhance user awareness of security are proposed to ensure the safety of user information on social media platforms and promote their healthy and sustainable development.
