Privacy and Terms of Use on Social Media: Facebook and Instagram

Uvjeti korištenja obuhvaćaju uvjete upotrebe društvene mreže, načine prikupljanja i obrade osobnih podataka i način na koji sve skupa utječe na privatnost korisnika društvene mreže, konkretno Facebooka i Instagrama. Na temelju iskustva javlja se pretpostavka da rijetko tko čita uvjete korištenja pri izradi korisničkog računa zbog kojega ovaj rad na što jednostavniji način približava sadržaj uvjeta i problem privatnosti.
