| description | The ability to interact with other people has become one of the most popular web-traffic
phenomena in the digital age. There are risks connected with the Social Networking sites,
which provides the potential of having victims investigated in a variety of ways to assess
and limit. There are several ways for a user to prevent or minimize the degree of danger
for the Social Networking sites, such as ensuring that the computer and Social
Networking Sites have adequate security measures in place and limiting unnecessary
clicking of unauthorized links. Besides, users can request that their profile be erased
when it becomes obsolete. Being cautious about the applications is also another method
of minimizing risks associated with Social Networking sites. It is also important to
generate unique passwords coupled with being cautious on social media to ensure that
their actions are limited. Additionally, configuring and reviewing the Social Networking
sites privacy policy regularly can offer appropriate protection. Many studies show that
the more a person visits a website, the more likely they are to be targeted by risk
associated with Social Networking Sites. A major contribution of the study is risk
awareness model development and proposed Social Networking sites Risk Meter
(SNSR). |
