What are the implications of users being potentially unaware of their privacy settings? It seems every week, there is another story of an employee losing their job over a Facebook status, a marriage breaking up due to tagged photos of a cheating spouse, or a child being cyber-bullied on a network that was once thought to be secure. The story is similar in each instance: users weren’t aware that their statuses, photos, and other posted content were accessible to a larger audience than intended; they felt a sense of protection within the boundaries of their own profiles. These stories are only of the individuals who have suffered public consequences due to their privacy settings. There may be countless other Facebook users with the same misconception about their security on the site – it just so happens that the issue has not been brought to their attention yet. These Facebook users could potentially be exposing details of their personal lives and explicit contact information to many people, unknowingly putting themselves at risk for information violation.
