Abstract

Social networking websites usage is becoming popular these days among individuals and organizations. Several organizations and researchers started investigating how social networking websites can be used as a potential tool to innovate and improve the sales of products. However, in the hustle of using social networking sites, the users knowingly or unknowingly expose their personal data to unintended users. The literature identifies the need for privacy scores of a social networking website so that the users can easily identify the level of disclosure of their personal information on the website. Quantifying privacy on social networking websites is a new and trending area of research. We propose a novel approach to calculate the privacy score of a user on a social networking website. The calculated privacy score of the user takes into account the user’s personal profile attributes and settings along with the network characteristics of the social network.

我的隐私得分是多少?衡量用户在社交网站上的隐私情况
如今,社交网站的使用在个人和组织中越来越流行。一些组织和研究人员开始研究如何将社交网站用作创新和提高产品销量的潜在工具。然而,在匆忙使用社交网站的过程中,用户会有意无意地将自己的个人数据暴露给无意的用户。有文献指出,有必要对社交网站进行隐私评分,这样用户就能很容易地识别其个人信息在网站上的披露程度。量化社交网站上的隐私是一个新的研究领域,也是一个趋势。我们提出了一种计算用户在社交网站上隐私得分的新方法。计算出的用户隐私得分考虑了用户的个人档案属性和设置以及社交网络的网络特征。
