In a survey this year of over 5,000 people by Meinungsraum, a German-based online market and option studies research provider, it was revealed that 90% who use the Internet daily are concerned about security and think their privacy is at risk online.

This is partnered with 66% of respondents who sometimes regret posting personal information online and 11% who have lost or been denied a job because of their social network postings.

Even Facebook's own CEO had his privacy displayed on Imgur, a site for sharing images, when private photos of him were posted with the headline "It's time to fix those security flaws Facebook." Is there actually such a thing as privacy on public social networking sites?
