Online social networks are characterized by user-controlled content, which means that users themselves contribute to the platform by creating and sharing content. Other choices are not characteristic of online social networks: one-way communication techniques may be used on some websites, but online social networks are designed for two-way communication and interaction; adoption rates vary depending on the website and the target audience, cannot be considered negligible; positive results are not guaranteed as users are free to share any content they wish, whether positive or negative; and measuring results can be challenging due to the complexity of the platforms and the variety of metrics that could be used.
