The revolutionary development of network technologies launched electronic commerce as a global phenomenon. Consequently, the policy issues that arise from its use create new responsibilities for policy makers world-wide. Apart from the technical (e.g. fast and reliable networks) and regulatory (e.g. legal frameworks and standardization) challenges that need to be tackled there are a number of social concerns that also need consideration. It is important for policy makers to see Internet use and electronic commerce as a social as well as a technical phenomenon. In this paper we examine how social concerns such as trust and digital democracy pertain to all levels of Internet and electronic commerce policy, posing dilemmas and influencing the construction of an effective and socially responsible strategy for electronic commerce.

Since the creation of the world wide web, media marketing has been transformed. Information is no longer available to specific agents but rather has become available to everyone and marketers have been successful at attaining a global audience. Although more consumers can be reached, gaining their attention has been challenging (Besana et.al, 2018)., The traditional way of mass communication has evaporated. Individuals are more lenient toward using the social web. News, photos, videos and personal life events are being shared on social media such as Facebook, twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. 80 per cent of Americans under the age of 24 possess a Facebook account which is utilized at least once a day making it by far the largest social media organization in contemporary times (Schaefer, 2018).
