This research paper examines the role of social data, multimedia communication, and privacy usage within the Sri Lankan and South Asian communities. With increasing internet penetration and widespread smartphone adoption, social media has become a cornerstone of communication, information sharing, and social interaction across the region. However, this digital transformation has raised significant privacy concerns due to government surveillance, data collection practices, and the absence of robust data protection laws. This paper explores and synthesises data from reputable sources to analyse usage patterns, the role of multimedia, privacy challenges, and their societal impacts. Apart from that paper further discusses the trends and usage of social data, the role of multimedia communication, and the evolving privacy landscape within Sri Lankan and South Asian communities, highlighting their cultural, social, and regulatory implications.
