Abstract:
These days, many people use a Social Networking Service (SNS). Most SNS users are careful in protecting the privacy of personal information: name, age, gender, address, telephone number, birthday, etc. However, some SNS users disclose their personal information that can threaten their privacy and security even if they use non-real name accounts. In this study, we investigated tweets disclosing submitters' personal profile items which many of us think are not true. We collected 565 tweets where submitters used non-real name accounts and made promises to disclose their personal profile items, surveyed the details of their personal profile items disclosed by themselves, especially their ages, enders, and heights, and analyzed them statistically, to be specific, applied the Shapiro-Wilk test of normality and the Welch's test to them. The results of these tests showed that most of the submitters disclosed their ages, genders, and heights honestly.
