Acquisti and Gross point out that the unprecedented growth of online social networks including but not limited to Facebook and MySpace has brought with itself serious security and privacy concerns. In this particular study, the authors found out that privacy issues do not discourage individuals from being members of the network. Further, the authors also found out that even individuals who happen to be rather concerned about their privacy reveal a great deal of their personal information after joining the network. This study is highly relevant to my research as it clearly demonstrates that individuals do not take privacy issues seriously on joining Facebook. As the authors point out, the study in this case secured its support from the "CMU Berkman Faculty Development Fund, CMU CyLab and the Data Privacy Laboratory."

This paper describes how over time the Internet has changed the meaning of privacy. This paper explores how various social media websites along with the new generation have influenced how much we value our privacy. Although each social media website has its own outlook on human privacy, they all ultimately deem it as the most valued part of the website. The new generation uses Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat, etc. as ways to communicate and share their memories with others, while not understanding the risk it poses. This paper shows how the internet has transformed the meaning of privacy into a matter more serious because the information being “posted” has so much more value than it did in the past. Overall you will see how the feeling of needing privacy has been depleted, but also how the security of privacy has increased.
