The answer

It is permissible for a woman to participate in social media platforms within what is Islamically permissible, while adhering to the guidelines. However, it is not permissible for her to use these platforms to chat with non- men, because this opens a door to temptation and could be a path to harm between the spouses. If the husband forbids his wife from doing so, she must obey him. The husband must protect his wife from anything that might lead her to temptation, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire" and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Each of you is a guardian, and each of you is responsible for his subjects... And a man is a guardian over his family and is responsible for his subjects."
