Adding a new section called "User Awareness" to Privacy concerns in Social Networking Sites Blueberry snow (talk) 10:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC) Edit references and to add following:

User Awareness in Social Networking Sites: Users are often the target as well as source of information in Social Networking. User leaves a Digital imprint during browsing of a Social Networking site or service. As per trust referred, "trust is defined in (Mayer, Davis, and Schoorman, 1995) as “the willingness of a party to be vulnerable to the actions of another party based on the expectation that the other will perform a particular action important to the trustor, irrespective of the ability to monitor or control that other party” (p. 712)". And further as per a survey conducted by Carnegie Melon, reference:, a majority of users provided their living city, phone number among other personal information, while user is clearly unaware of consequences of sharing certain information. Adding to this insight, is the social networking users are from various cities, remote villages, towns, cultures, traditions, religions, background, economic classes, education background, timezones and so on that highlight the significant gap in awareness.

The survey results of the paper suggest, "These results show that the interaction of trust and privacy concern in social networking sites is not yet understood to a sufficient degree to allow accurate modeling of behavior and activity. The results of the study encourage further research in the effort to understand the development of relationships in the online social environment and the reasons for differences in behavior on different sites."

As per reference[43], a survey conducted among social networking users in Carnegie Melon University, survey was indicative of following as reasons for lack of user awareness : 1) People's disregard of privacy risk due to trust in privacy and protection offered in social networking sites. 2) Availability of User's personal details to thirdparty tools/applications. 3) APIs and Frameworks also enable any user, who has fair amount of knowledge to extract the user's data. 4) Cross-site forgery and possible other website threats.
