Paper Title
Let’s Talk: An OSN Which Detects Privacy Violations
Abstract
Traditionally, privacy breaches have been understood as the malfunctioning of a given system. However, in
online social networks, privacy breaches are not necessarily a malfunctioning of a system but a byproduct of its workings. In
online social networks, users are allowed to create and share content about themselves and others. When multiple entities
start distributing content without a control, information can reach unintended individuals and inference can reveal more
information about the user. To overcome the privacy violations, an approach based on agent-based representation of a social
network, where the agents manage user’s privacy requirements by creating commitments with the system is proposed. The
proposed detection algorithm performs reasoning using the description logic and commitments on a varying depths of social
networks.
