Statistics show that 2/3 of the global internet population visit social networks.
Official data registrations of 2017 show that everyday social media users overcome the 1 million, which means 14 new users each second.
So, as it ‘seams’ social media provides “privacy”, control of the communication and interaction to users. But, at the same time creates a proper environment for threats and crimes.
