Social media is rapidly developing in many folds, but as its growth expands, many issues are also growing. Some severe issues in social media are data security and less privacy because of its centralized nature, which exploits user information. As these are some biggest problems in social media, technologists associated blockchain technology with social media to provide security and privacy in all transitions of social media networks, which have the property of decentralization and strong end-to-end encryption to avoid tracking the user from third-party attacks. We can use distributed ledger-based payment infrastructure for fast processing of payment in real time to prevent the data from any fraud or a security breach and improve payment security significantly. Blockchain provides transparent payment flow to enhance the payment systems but still has many concerns which can be quickly dealt with to get maximum benefits of this technology. In logging or registering a legitimate user in social networks, we use two-factor authentication principles, which reduce the risk of an account being compromised and prevent an expropriating of a legitimate account and posting malicious content. To avoid all these pitfalls, the identification process should be very strong, and it should be capable enough to validate history. This system should not encourage people to overemphasize or lie about their history.
