 Topic: Online Social Networks (OSNs) and Privacy

People join online social networking sites for a variety of professional and personal reasons. Statistics show that nowadays about seven in ten American adults (69%) use some kind of social media platform. At the same time people worry about privacy along with the security of their personal information. Privacy seems a concept of paradox when it comes to the use of OSN sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
