Abstract

Online Social Networks (OSN) have been revolutionary in the way people interact over the Internet today. Typically in online social networks the information is ephemeral while the relationships between users are sustainable. Yet, this might not always reflect the real links between users. For instance, it might just reflect the fact that although you enjoyed talking again to your old primary school buddy, it did not take long to realize that you might not want to be permanently connected to him. Similarly, information posted a long time ago is almost impossible to dig out, several scenarios can be thought of where a permanent access to information can be desirable. Also, privacy is a recurrent issue in OSNs. Finally, the wired and global nature of online social networks does not ease the leveraging of physical locality.
