The goal of this special issue is to report frontier research addressing the need for a paradigm shift in understanding and addressing users’ privacy needs in social media. Particular emphases will be put on the interplay between social and technological issues associated with security, privacy, and trust 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><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>We welcome research papers that examine technological, conceptual, design, economic, behavioral, managerial, organizational, and societal aspects of assuring trust, privacy, and security in social media.
