Abstract:This bachelor project concerns analysis of sensitive information propagation in social networks. After reading through the present problematic of information propagation and privacy protection on social networks, a model and metrics were made with emphasis on potentially sensitive information. One of them is inovative model based on user interaction. It is assumed, that people that show interest in an information, for example by leaving a comment, would likely spread the information. During the creation of the application for validating the model on Facebook platform an interesting fact was found, that to implement suggested techniques it would be required much bigger access to users data, than is allowed by standard API. The final application consists of mechanisms, that analyze information propagation in given environment. In order to analyse the model it was needed to extract data from all users of the application and process them. Unfortunately the dataset size was too small, but after all it was capable of testing the model and propose where to turn the future research.
