Social Networking Software is a platform that allows individuals and organizations to create and engage in online communities. These platforms include features like group levels, which categorize users into different tiers, and memberships, which offer access to certain features. Access control, privacy^[1], and permissions are also crucial, helping to manage who can see and interact with content. The software can often be integrated with other platforms, such as PayPal^[2] for membership fees, and customized with plugins, widgets, themes, and modules. Some common platforms for this software are PHP, MySQL, Node.js, WordPress, and Joomla. Licensing and pricing can vary, with some being free and others requiring payment or adherence to certain licenses like GPL 3.0 or LGPL 2.1. Additional features may include multimedia support, video calls, support for XMPP networks, and built-in LDAP and Active Directory.

Terms definitions

1. ↑ privacy. Privacy is a fundamental concept that has evolved throughout history and continues to shape our societal discourse. Historically, it stemmed from philosophical debates, with figures like Aristotle and John Locke laying the groundwork. Privacy also entwines with legal and ethical issues, as seen in landmark Supreme Court cases and revelations like those from Edward Snowden. Technological advancements have both challenged and enhanced privacy, introducing new threats and protective measures. Globally, privacy standards vary, with different countries and international organizations setting their guidelines. In today's digital age, privacy faces new challenges and considerations, such as social media use, selfie culture, and location-based services. This concept encompasses an individual's right to keep their personal information secret and free from unsanctioned intrusion.
