Safety in social media – privacy policy using the example of Facebook
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2012, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
In the age of an increasing popularity of social networks, the issue of safety and the protection of shared personal data is constantly taking on significance. Facebook is a good example of a medium which grants the administrators of the service but also its advertising providers full access to a database of key information on its users. At the same time, the users of Facebook violate the right to the protection of personal data by sharing content that is the property of their friends. In 2012, Facebook’s privacy policy was made available in the Polish language. That, however, did not change the fact that the users’ data is still unprotected and there are numerous cases when data is stolen or misused.<br/><br/>
