Solutions to Problems arising from the issue
Many of the problems arising from social networks such have various types of solutions that accompany them. One of the main dilemmas with social directories are fraud and identity theft. Therefore a possible solution would be for an individual to make to make their profile private and not expose themselves to offenders. If this action is not taken; anyone within their network will be able to view personal information and anything in their profile (Szu Ping Ching, 2007).

The positive side of having a private profile is that it will not expose information to people outside or within the network itself. Private profiles can enable a person to have a limited profile in which they can select which information they would like to be shown to certain people. This solution is feasible, because if information can be controlled then no offender can gain access to personal information; thus avoiding identity theft and fraud. The person with the profile can control who their information is viewed by and can alter it whenever (Szu Ping Ching, 2007).
