In typical online social networks, users are linked by symmetric friend relations and can define circles of friends based on shared interests. In this paper, we look at social networks where users form links subject to both friendships and shared interests. Our goal is to understand resilience of these networks in terms of connectivity when both nodes and links are allowed to fail. We derive a zero-one law as well as the asymptotically exact probability result for connectivity under both node and link failures. The results answer the question of how to set the network parameters such that reliable message dissemination can be achieved. We formally prove the results and confirm the results via experiments as well.
