Abstract
A computing includes a hardware platform having a processor and a memory; and instructions encoded within the memory to instruct the processor to: on behalf of a human user, scan a social media platform for which the user has an account, and compute a proactive privacy risk score, wherein the proactive privacy risk score is a quantitative value based at least in part on an inherent risk of the social media platform according to data types that may be collected and exposed by the social media platform, and at least in part on privacy settings for the social media platform in relation to the data types; and recommend or initiate an action to improve the proactive privacy risk score.
