A system and method for predicting one or more sharing settings for a social network user is provided. The relevant user data is received and analyzed. Based on the analysis of the relevant user data, one or more of the user's desired sharing settings is predicted. In some embodiments, statistical analysis is used to analyze and/or predict the user's desired sharing settings. One or more predictions including a suggested sharing setting are generated. In one embodiment, the user's sharing settings are automatically adjusted based on the one or more predictions. In one embodiment, the one or more predictions are sent for display to the user. In one embodiment, feedback is obtained from the user accepting or rejecting the predictions. In one embodiment, the feedback is used to adjust one or more of the algorithms for analyzing the user data, predicting the user's desired sharing settings, or both.
