Περίληψη: Members of online social networks are often under an illusion of privacy, underestimating privacy risks related to their personal information published in their profiles. Current literature identifies privacy awareness as a key factor for enhancing user privacy. This paper identifies awareness raising applications and explores the effectiveness of awareness tools and practices currently employed by six popular SNS platforms, through a combined approach of literature review and experimental use. Our findings illustrate that awareness practices differ significantly among platforms and fail to promote awareness. We also show that effective awareness raising tools, such as privacy signalling and visualization applications, are overlooked and propose directions to further enhance privacy awareness mechanisms in SNS platforms.
