Abstract

Social Networking Sites (SNSs) have become a global experience, with communities such as Facebook, MySpace and Friendster which they are reporting user figures in the hundreds of millions. People, have been invited into or chosen to join these communities are able to publish multimedia content about themselves, their interests and concerns. With intensive information been shared, privacy concern are rising up because Social networks privacy is different from the classic privacy setting that cause a lot of problems such as exposing sensitive information. On the other hand privacy model should be designed to facilitate user's requirements, which mean that users are, supposed to set up their own privacy setting. Since it's still not well defined and need to be improved and studied further. However, to solve this is by providing a more private platform with the ability for users to set their own privacy settings. The privacy model can be so general to more complicated, but all of them are still not clear for users to be aware off. The new model we are proposing will solve the privacy issues since it's done by users and monitored by developers. This research will point out some problems, and how to solve these problems by proposing a new user oriented privacy model for social networks. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
