The document 'De-anonymizing Social Networks' by Arvind Narayanan and Vitaly Shmatikov discusses the vulnerabilities of privacy in online social networks due to the sharing of anonymized user data. It presents a framework for analyzing privacy and introduces a re-identification algorithm that can successfully de-anonymize users in social networks like Twitter and Flickr, demonstrating that even with low overlap between networks, a significant percentage of users can be re-identified. The authors argue that current anonymization practices are insufficient for protecting user privacy and call for a reevaluation of data-sharing practices among social network operators.
