Online Social Networks
Several SNS are now among the top 10 most visited websites globally. The commercial success of the multi-billion Euro SNS industry depends heavily on the number of users it attracts. Combined with the strong human desire to connect, this encourages design and online behaviour where security and privacy are not always the first priority. Users are often not aware of the size or nature of the audiences accessing their information and the sense of intimacy created by being among digital friends often leads to a ‘digital hangover’ – disclosures and digital “memories” that cannot be forgotten the morning after.
