Abstract |
|
Participation in social networking sites has dramatically increased in recent years. Services such as Friendster, Tribe, or the Facebook allow millions of individuals to create online profiles and share personal information with vast networks of friends - and, often, unknown numbers of strangers [1]. Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become an important part of daily digital interactions for more than half a billion users around the world. Unconstrained by physical spaces, OSNs over to web users new interesting means to communicate, interact, and socialize [2]. While these networks make frequent data sharing and inter-user communications instantly possible, privacy-related issues are their obvious much discussed immediate consequences. Recent research identifies a growing privacy problem that exists within OSNs. Several studies have shown how easily strangers can extract personal data about users from the OSNs[3]. |
