Social networking sites compromising on privacy: Cambridge University

Since the sites depend on acquiring as many users as possible, the researchers argue that most social networks opt to set up long and complicated privacy measures which, in most cases, is difficult to access or even find. At the same time, they show off how many users they have and how easy it is to make friends, or share photos, videos and music - all features which would be harder to sell with stricter privacy controls.
The report calls for an "opt-out" approach to privacy, in which users' details are kept private until otherwise stated. It also calls for stronger across-the-board regulation, and suggests that sites could offer "premium" membership schemes which allow users to handle their privacy settings in greater detail if they wish, a scheme known as "privacy negotiations".
