Nguyen Tan Danh
Abstract

Today, social networking sites have been rapidly expanding in the field of interaction, exchange allows us to share messages, photos, files and even status updates every minute about us. These functions are not new but these can be shared on the Internet without having to join any social networks. While social networks can be very helpful to enhance social exchanges both online and offline, when participating in using social networks, we can reveal information to those who want to use it. This information on purpose is not good. Most social networking sites are owned by private commercial firms and they make money by collecting data about individuals and selling this information to advertisers. When we join a social network, we are entering the connected network that is controlled and controlled by the organization that owns the network. Privacy settings only mean our privacy is protected from other members of the network and not our information from this social networking service provider itself. In fact, we are trusting all of our personal data to social media providers. Therefore, what we do to keep our personal privacy intact that many of us care about is to choose to work from home and social networking is an effective way to communicate with each other.
