In a changing, transforming, and globalizing world, certain phenomena and events have also undergone change and transformation. The most significant among these has been the concept of "privacy." Although privacy—the notion of what is forbidden—has remained somewhat the same in reality, it has become largely degenerated in the digital world. The generation referred to as "Generation Z" has encountered the degenerated form of privacy in the virtual realm, especially on social media. Global social media platforms have, in fact, been pioneers in this degeneration. As a result, this generation has reached a point where they cannot distinguish between the concept of privacy in the real world and that in the virtual world. In response, they have constructed an ideal self in the virtual realm as a solution. Through this self, they began to build all private phenomena and events in the social world. In this construction activity, "exposure, exhibitionism, and visibility" have become more prominent. Consequently, this has turned into a social media crisis for the generation. This crisis has grown day by day in the digital environment, reaching a point that surpasses the domains of religion, law, and morality.

In our paper, we have attempted to capture the main points of the crisis mentioned above and propose solutions. The issue has been examined specifically with regard to Generation Z because this generation has significantly differentiated itself from previous ones, with digitalism being the most important point of divergence. While digitalism is ravaging the global world, it makes its most effective impact on Generation Z through social media. Due to the importance of preserving the generation, we are obligated to maximally protect Generation Z from this influence and interaction with the virtual world. Therefore, all kinds of activities to be carried out will again focus on this generation in the virtual realm. There is absolutely no possibility of escaping the aforementioned crisis by marginalizing the generation and disregarding social media. This crisis can be managed through cybersecurity measures, ensuring that real phenomena and events are preserved identically in the virtual world, and by making the rules of religion, law, and morality equally valid in virtual environments. Indeed, symposiums, panels, meetings, and similar activities organized on behalf of the generation are all conducted with the aim of managing this crisis. If Generation Z can overcome such a crisis to the extent of the proposed solutions, they will leave a privacy-focused virtual universe as a legacy to the subsequent Alpha Generation.
