extensive display of personal information by users of social media has made
online safety and privacy concerns particularly salient. </span>Many Web 2.0
technologies are highly collaborative where collective action with rich data
exchange is the norm. <span style='color:black'>Social media </span>brought the
voluntary disclosure of personal data to the mainstream, thus exposing
users’ published information with potential abuse by online crooks,
stalkers, bullies, and even by their friends. The goal of this special issue is
to report frontier research addressing the need for a paradigm shift in
understanding and addressing users’ online safety and privacy needs in
social media. Particular emphases will be put on the interplay between social
and technological issues associated with online safety and privacy
assurance in social media with a focus on online social networks. The issue
aims to offer an integrated view of the field by presenting approaches
originating from and drawing upon multiple disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
