Furthermore, we suggest future research directions. We also offer simple-to-implement recommendations for OSN users which can improve their security and privacy when using these platforms. In addition, we present an overview of existing solutions that can provide better protection, security, and privacy for OSN users. In this paper we present a thorough review of the different security and privacy risks which threaten the well-being of OSN users in general, and children in particular. These risks become even more severe when the users are children. This information, if put into the wrong hands, can be used to harm users both in the virtual world and in the real world. According to recent studies, OSN users readily expose personal and private details about themselves, such as relationship status, date of birth, school name, email address, phone number, and even home address. Many online social network (OSN) users are unaware of the numerous security risks that exist in these networks, including privacy violations, identity theft, and sexual harassment, just to name a few.

This thoughtful study casts a fresh light on the shaping of user participation in the context of, among others, popular discourse in and around new media. Furthermore, lay people and amateurs have been enthusiastically greeted as heroes of the digital era. The computer and particularly the Internet have been represented as enabling technologies, turning consumers into users and users into producers. "New online technologies have brought with them a great promise of freedom.
