Privacy in Social Networking has become a topic of much concern since the increasing popularity of social networking sites such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, etc. With the evolution of social networking sites, it is now a social norm to share large amounts of information online. One major problem is that legislation regarding online behavior have not been able to catch up with the issues arising on the Internet.

Overview
Data Storage
Information put into the Internet rarely is deleted. Social networking sites, search engines, and many other websites (which require personal input) keep records of information about users. From the gathering of statistics on users to use for advertising, or to the more personal attacks on user's to gain credit card information or sensitive information, any information put on the Internet has the potential to be seen by other people. Information put on social networking can be harmful to a person's reputation. Once information is shared online, its almost impossible to delete it forever.
