This chapter is concerned with the identification of the privacy threats to provide a feedback to the users so that they can make an informed decision based on their desired level of privacy. To achieve this goal, Solove's taxonomy of privacy violations is refined to incorporate the modern challenges to the privacy posed by the evolution of social networks. This work emphasizes on the fact that the privacy protection should be a joint effort of social network owners and users, and provides a classification of mitigation strategies according to the party responsible for taking these countermeasures. In addition, it highlights the key research issues to guide the research in the field of privacy preservation. This chapter can serve as a first step to comprehend the privacy requirements of online users and educate the users about their choices and actions in social media.

Photo sharing on online social networks (OSNs) can cause privacy issues. Face blurring is one strategy to increase privacy while still allowing users to share photos. To explore the potential blurring has as a privacy-enhancing technology for OSN photos, we conducted an online experiment with 47 participants to evaluate the effectiveness of face blurring compared to the original photo (as-is), and users’ experience (satisfaction, information sufficiency, enjoyment, social presence, and filter likeability). Users’ experience ratings for face blurring were positive, indicating blurring may be an acceptable way to modify photos from the users’ perspective. However, from a privacy-enhancement perspective, while face blurring may be useful in some situations, such as those where the person in the photo is unknown to the viewer, in other cases, such as in an OSN where the person in the image is known to the viewer, face blurring does not provide privacy protection.

Users pay increasing attention to their data privacy in online social networks, resulting in hiding personal information, such as profile attributes and social connections. While network representation learning (NRL) is widely effective in social network analysis (SNA) tasks, it is essential to learn effective node embeddings from privacy-protected sparse and incomplete network data. In this work, we present a novel NRL model to generate node embeddings that can afford data incompleteness coming from user privacy protection. We propose a structure-attribute enhanced matrix (SAEM) to alleviate data sparsity and develop a community-cluster informed NRL method, c2n2v, to further improve the quality of embedding learning. Experiments conducted across three datasets, three simulations of user privacy protection, and three downstream SNA tasks exhibit the promising performance of our NRL model SAEM+c2n2v.
