ABSTRACT: Social computing and online groups have
accompanied in a new age of the network, where information, networking and
communication technologies are enabling systematized human efforts in primarily
innovative ways. The social network communities working on various social
network domains face different hurdles, including various new research studies
and challenges in social computing. The researcher should try to expand the
scope and establish new ideas and methods even from other disciplines to
address the various challenges. This idea has diverse academic association,
social links and technical characteristics. Thus it offers an ultimate
opportunity for researchers to find out the issues in social computing and
provide innovative solutions for conveying the information between social
online groups on network computing. In this research paper we investigate the
different issues in social media like users’ privacy and security, network
reliabilities, and desire data availability on these social media, users’ awareness
about the social networks and problems faced by academic domains. A huge number
of users operated the social networks for retrieving and disseminating their
real time and offline information to various places. The information may be
transmitted on local networks or may be on global networks. The main concerns
of users on social media are secure and fast communication channels. Facebook
and YouTube both claimed for efficient security mechanism and fast
communication channels for multimedia data. In this research a survey has been
conducted in the most populated cities where a large number of Facebook and
YouTube users have been found. During the survey several regular users indicate
the certain potential issues continuously occurred on these social web sites
interfaces, for example unwanted advertisement, fake IDS, uncensored videos and
unknown friend request which cause the poor speed of channel communication,
poor uploading and downloading data speed, channel interferences, security of
data, privacy of users, integrity and reliability of user communication on
these social sites. The major issues faced by active users of Facebook and
YouTube have been highlighted in this research.
