في هذه القضية

The advent of the Web 2.0 has caused social profiling and is a growing concern for internet privacy. Web 2.0 is the system that facilitates participatory information sharing and collaboration on the Internet, in social networking media websites like Facebook and MySpace. These social networking sites have seen a boom in their popularity starting from the late 2000s. Through these websites many people are giving their personal information out on the internet.

These social networks keep track of all interactions used on their sites and save them for later use. Issues include cyberstalking, location disclosure, social profiling, 3rd party
personal information disclosure, and government use of social network websites in investigations without the safeguard of a search warrant. Discuss.

The theme for this issue of Connect-World Europe II (2015) will be - Privacy issues of social networking.
