  Некоторые тезисы из работы по теме The study of privacy issues on the Internet
  Next, the problem of privacy ensuring in social networks is considered through case studies of the most popular social networks – Facebook.com, Myspace.com, Classmates.com, and Frienster.com, with the main subjects for study being default privacy settings, convenience of access to the privacy link and change of one’s privacy settings, as well as the ability to search globally; the main principle of evaluating the level of privacy insuring being availability of significant privacy protection in the absence of user awareness. “User awareness is defined as a situation when individuals have a personal responsibility to obtain information about which data are collected and how they will be used” (Bhasin, 2006; p.145).
