Social networks provide a platform for people to connect and share information and moments of their lives. With the increasing engagement of users in such platforms, the volume of personal information that is exposed online grows accordingly. Due to carelessness, unawareness or difficulties in defining adequate privacy settings, private or sensitive information may be exposed to a wider audience than intended or advisable, potentially with serious problems in the private and professional life of a user. Although these causes usually receive public attention when it involves companies’ higher managing staff, athletes, politicians or artists, the general public is also subject to these issues. To address this problem, we envision a mechanism that can suggest users the appropriate privacy setting for their posts taking into account their profiles. In this paper, we present a thorough analysis of privacy settings in Facebook posts and evaluate prediction models that can anticipate the desired privacy settings with high accuracy, making use of the users’ previous posts and preferences.

A time-evolution model for the privacy degree of information disseminated in online social networks Othmane, Lotfi Ben; Weffers, Harold; Angın, Pelin; Bhargava, Bharat (Inderscience Publishers, 2013-01-01) People tend to share private information with their friends on online social networks (OSNs). The common position is that the shared information eventually reaches all users of the network since OSNs exhibit the small-world property. However, dissemination of private information in an OSN exhibits a set of factors that need to be accounted for in order to create more realistic models of the evolution of the privacy degree of information disseminated in an OSN. Among these factors are relationship strength b...
Children’s Information Disclosure Tendencies On Social Networks İslim, Ömer Faruk; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Kaşıkçı, Duygu; Kurşun, Engin; Karakuş Yılmaz, Türkan (2017-03-01) This descriptive study aims to identify children’s information disclosure tendency in social network environments, their social network use habits and potential risky behaviors. The study was conducted in Turkey's three largest cities (Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir), and data were gathered with survey through face-to-face meetings with randomly selected 524 children between 9 and 16 years old who used social networks, and their parents. The survey consisted total of 38 Likert-type questions that 25 of them we...
Context aware friend recommendation for location based social networks using random walk Bağcı, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar (null; 2016-04-10) The location-based social networks (LBSN) facilitate users to check-in their current location and share it with other users. The accumulated check-in data can be employed for the benefit of users by providing personalized recommendations. In this paper, we propose a random walk based context-aware friend recommendation algorithm (RWCFR). RWCFR considers the current context (i.e. current social relations, personal preferences and current location) of the user to provide personalized recommendations. Our LBSN...
INVESTIGATING THE INDIVIDUALS' PERCEPTION ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS: A SURVEY STUDY ON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Yüksel, Umutcan Sümeyye; Özdemir, Özlem; Department of Business Administration (2022-9) Internet and social media have become integral to our lives, creating social media celebrities or influencer terms. This thesis explores social media influencers' effects on social media users. Perceived similarity by the user to the influencer, wishful identification by the user with the influencer, perceived credibility of the influencer, and parasocial identification between the user and the influencer are investigated. This thesis aims to contribute to the literature by simultaneously analyzing perceive...
Developing recommendation techniques for location based social networks using random walk Bağcı, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) The location-based social networks (LBSN) enable users to check-in their current location and share it with other users. The accumulated check-in data can be employed for the benefit of users by providing personalized recommendations. In this thesis, we propose three recommendation algorithms for location-based social networks. These are random walk based context-aware location (CLoRW), activity (RWCAR) and friend (RWCFR) recommendation algorithms. All the algorithms consider the current context (i.e. curre...
