Abstract: Public social media platforms facilitate instant messaging and rich media sharing, yet they expose users to risks that can damage personality, integrity, and reputation. Existing solutions predominantly emphasize access control and content moderation, leaving gaps in preventing unintentional disclosure of sensitive information to unintended recipients. We survey contemporary literature on social media privacy, cross‑cultural differences, and cryptographic access control, and we propose an enhanced Personality and Reputation Preservation (PRP) approach. Our proposal augments message delivery with an analyzer that learns conversational context and intercepts out‑of‑distribution ("strange") text or attachments for sender verification prior to transmission. We discuss how modern methods such as fine‑grained Attribute‑Based Encryption (ABE) and privacy‑aware user experience can complement PRP in public networks. A small‑scale pilot suggests high user satisfaction with PRP while highlighting latency trade‑offs due to background similarity checks. We conclude with future directions for scalable similarity thresholds, human‑in‑the‑loop approvals, and integration with transformer‑based content classifiers.
