Abstract

The privacy is a need for humanity since the creation of civilizations. In social networks SNs the common point is that each user has to create a profile to define his or her own identity. The profile description includes many items with privacy settings to tune their visibility degrees for only owner, friends, friends of friends FoF and sometimes for public. After enrolment stage, users extend their social connection graphs with accepted new friends and these graphs grow without the control of individual due to the new FoF. Hence, with high probability, the shared information of member is generally available to public and can be retrieved by users around the world. In this article, the reasons of privacy concerns, and which intensively works have done or required to produce solutions by researchers and governments will be evaluated.

Keywords
