K.sharadha . Cloud Security Issues and Impact on Social Media. International Conference on Communication, Computing and Information Technology. ICCCMIT2014, 2 (March 2015), 26-28.
Social networking sites enable users to interact with others and share experiences, feelings, and opinions. When we upload a vid¬eo on YouTube, the video gets stored in the cloud; when we store photographs on Flickr or post them on Face¬book page, the photos are said to get stored in the cloud. Thus it makes us realise that cloud comput¬ing drives many social media sites that we access every day. Visitors can become members by registering with the social networking sites and they'll be able to send messages, store photographs, upload vid¬eos and interact with others online using the internet. But using the cloud services does have some disadvantages. Thus, the paper mainly focuses on the major cloud security issues and its impact on the social media, security measures to stay safe in the cloud and its predicted future.
