This work responds to the lack of tools for analyzing privacy exposure in online social networks. We propose an innovative approach to privacy assessment of social networks and the verification of existing evaluation models. Currently, there are new options in account settings, which can improve privacy score. Thus, we extended the testing approach to determine if models reflect these improving attributes correctly. We also introduce SoNePE, a tool for analyzing privacy exposure on social networks. This tool has been developed based on verified models, supports up to seven social networks, and calculates the corresponding privacy score using the PIDX model, reflecting multiple metrics such as attribute weight and visibility. We used this tool to evaluate and compare four different social networks and their privacy settings. We measured their minimal, default, and maximal achievable levels and discuss the results.
