A ‘social network’ is a platform-based service that enables users to
share and exchange information with other individuals also using the
network. Its purpose can be the sharing and exchange of political,
commercial, personal interests or mixed information. Each user has
a profile, which can be added within one personal network.
A social network has features enabling users to exchange information
with each other publicly or semi-publicly.
¡ ‘Public’ means that information sharing is unrestrained.
¡ ‘Semi-public’ means that a user is able to disclose (private)
information to a large set of users at a single time that have been
authorized to be part of the users’ network.
¡ ‘Purely private’ exchange of information, that allow individual to
share and exchange information through direct messages or mails
(even in groups), and which require to know a private identifier of
an individual do typically fall outside the scope of the definition
of a social network. (e.g., of identifier not publicly shared: e-mail
address, phone number, private pseudonym. This contrasts with a
public pseudonym or an official first name and surname).
Within the social networks, the platforms that enable the publishing
of content and information through multiple sources and devices
are often called ‘social media’.
