The need to protect personal data and private on social networks

Abstract

We live in one of the most radical changes that humanity has experienced, this because of social networks that have revolutionized the old communication models. A clear example of this is the social network known as Facebook, in which the following information must be provided: a public profile and personal data such as name, date of birth, cell phone number, place where you live, among others.

The society-government have been overwhelmed by these networks, becoming the perfect means to obtain personal data from users through deception, hacking or interactions, leading to the following; serious non-pecuniary damage, social loss of prestige, anguish, anxiety, insecurity, restlessness, frustration, annoyance, irritation or fear that it usually entails.
