With the advent and unprecedented popularity of the now ubiquitous social networking sites such as Google Friend, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc. in the personal sphere, and others such as LinkedIn in business circles, undesirable security and privacy risk issues have come to the forefront as a result of this extraordinary rapid growth. The most salient issues are mainly lack of trustworthiness; namely, those of security and privacy. We will address these issues by employing a quantitative approach to assess security and privacy risks for social networks already under pressure by users and policymakers for breaches in both quality and sustainability; and will also demonstrate, using a cost-optimal game-theoretical solution, how to manage and monitor risk. The applicability of this research to diverse fields from security to privacy and health care, as well as the currently popular social networks is an additional asset. A number of real people (not simulated) were interviewed and the results are discussed. Ramifications of this quantitative risk assessment of privacy and security breaches in social networks will be summarized.

Resisting English medium instruction through digital grassroots activism Selvi, Ali Fuad (Informa UK Limited, 2020-02-07) Recently, we have been witnessing the emergence of digital grassroots activism in social networking sites (e.g. Facebook) - affording discursive tools and spaces to engage in normative approaches to preserve Turkish(ness) and raise ideological oppositions against English medium instruction (EMI). By linking Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, N. 2013. Critical Discourse Analysis: The Critical Study of Language. London, UK: Routledge.) with the principles of visual semiotics (Kress, G., and T. van Leeuw...
Analyzing and Predicting Privacy Settings in the Social Web Naini, Kaweh Djafari; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Kawase, Ricardo; Herder, Eelco; Niederee, Claudia (2015-07-03) 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. Alt...
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...
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...
Random Walk Based Context-Aware Activity Recommendation for Location Based Social Networks Bagci, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar (2015-10-21) The pervasiveness of location-acquisition technologies enable location-based social networks (LBSN) to become increasingly popular in recent years. Users are able to check-in their current location and share information with other users through these networks. LBSN check-in data can be used for the benefit of users by providing personalized recommendations. There are several location recommendation algorithms that employ LBSN data in the literature. However, there are few number of proposed activity recomme...
