This analysis also confirms and expands previous research regarding the practice of setting a social network site profile to be friends-only [23,32]. Although privacy in a social network site is managed with a range of methods, the discrete act of having a friends-only profile is particularly notable. Individuals who have a friends-only profile signal a common bond identity to the network, limiting contribution to and resources drawn from the encompassing network. In future research, we plan to elaborate the relationship between privacy attitudes and CPM stages, to provide further insight into the variables identified in this study. This research stands to inform the contextual theorization of privacy in socio-technical systems, contributing to the design of systems that facilitate communication while reducing disclosure-related harms.
