KEY WORDS: social networks, social networks’ users, privacy, information privacy, privacy protection.

ABSTRACT:
The modern world of the Internet has changed significantly with the emergence of social networks. With their popularity and a large number of users, social networks have created a kind of “control” of the everyday activities of people, their habits, their movability and socializing. In Serbia, social networks became popular in 2006, while in 2007 the real expansion of social networks begins. The Internet and social networks provide countless opportunities for getting to know new people, acquiring and developing personal and professional relationships, creating different social circumstances; but the opportunities for abuse/misuse of the Internet and social networks also increased. Discussing the abuse/misuse of the Internet and social networks, arose the issue of protecting individual personal rights – the right to privacy, and about how the users of social networks can contribute in prevention of privacy violation. Certain groups of people are more likely to be exposed to privacy violation.
