With the spread of smartphones and tablet PCs beyond the users of personal PCs connecting the Internet, cyber space has become an existential stage that directly affects our life rather than a simple virtual space. The first level of SNS ripple effect is that it functions as a media medium for marketing, publicity, and entertainment due to the network function that makes it easier to build so-called connections. On the other hand, the other attribute of SNS is exposed to the negative aspect which is used as a means of various crimes. Among the characteristics of SNS, since the location information service is accompanied and the personal privacy information is exchanged, exposure of location information and personal information eventually leads to privacy violation it is likely to lead to other crimes. In terms of criminal policy, privacy is important and constitutionally recognized rights, and personal information infringement is also closely related, so personal information and privacy violation are not related to crime. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the crime prevention aspect from the viewpoint of the users, and it is considered that the responsibility should not be overlooked from the viewpoint of the business operator. In other words, if you understand the nature of SNS and understand the awareness and danger possibility, you can be protected from SNS crime damage. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to how well SNS users understand the attributes of SNS. Considering that cybercrime using SNS is mainly based on weakness of personal information protection, we use social networking service(SNS) so that personal information management can be carried out under self responsibility by educating and educating SNS users. It is necessary to establish clear guidelines on the limitations on the use of location information and surrounding information as the type and scope of personal information required for SNS subscription, and as linkage information.
