摘要：

Data privacy, a critical human right, is gaining importance as new technologies are developed, and the old ones evolve. In mobile platforms such as Android, data privacy regulations require developers to communicate data access requests using privacy policy statements (PPS). This case study cross-examines the privacy policy in popular social media (SM) apps - Facebook and Twitter - constituting 314 candidate statements for features of language ambiguity, sensitive data requests, and whether the statements tally with the data requests made in the Manifest file. Subsequently, we conduct a comparative analysis between the PPS of these two apps to examine trends that may constitute a threat to user data privacy.
