Abstract
The increasing popularity of social network system (SNS) sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, has raised concerns about privacy particularly the risk of private information leakages and the secondary use of those information. Users' information is being shared/leaked in a number of ways including the use of tracking technologies (such as HTTP cookies). This paper will provide an analysis of the privacy issues related to OSNs and using a hypothetical scenario it will argue for the SNS users' right to privacy. It is hoped that the analysis will raise awareness about the threats to privacy from the current practice to information leakages and the future possibilities of information leakage.
