The concept of secrecy in relationships brings in the idea of privacy. Privacy is a problem that pops up constantly within the use of social networks, the question of how much to share, whats appropriate to share, whats safe to share... Secrets and social networking sites have become coexisting concepts. People share things over the internet that they would never express face to face. This comfort of over-sharing can cause many problems in a persons social and professional life. However, this is just one aspect of the problem with secrets and social networking. The assumption of everything being true that is being posted or created on a site has a sense of naivety, people keep secrets and sometimes use the cover of the internet site to mask who they truly can be. All of these aspects of the internet have created a completely different relationship between friends and acquaintances than the one that would be present in the physical world.
