I will start by briefly describing the history of Social Networking Websites (SNWs) and listing some of the most popular current examples. Then, I will view some of the positive cultural effects that SNWs have made. I will also discuss some of the social implications, such as the huge role SNWs play in our children’s lives and how they affect our personal security and privacy. Another important aspect of SNWs is the legal issues and cases which I will examine in a general fashion.
