This article is focused at the community Facebook users who uses the social media
network to interact with one another through sharing images or photos as well as instant or text
message. The article is unique in the sense that here the author puts forward an argument stating
that users needed to shift from leading cyber regulatory lens to the conceptual power lens
(Vranaki, 2016). This helps in better understanding the dynamism and complexity of regulatory
space within the online environment when the legal rights remain at stake and also understand
the effect of multiple power when a particular legal right is violated or protected in the digital
platforms like Facebook.
