Due to their heterogeneous nature and complexity, there are many technical and social challenges that need to be addressed. Specifically, security and privacy are among the most critical issues in online social networks.

The main objective is to contribute to the discussion about privacy and security by identifying potential threats and challenges in this dimension of cyberspace.
