Privacy & Confidentiality

Privacy is a growing concern as social media becomes more popular. People often do not realize how serious it really is. When something is put on the internet it stays on there forever, nothing is private. Anything that someone posts can be seen by anyone even if you have the right settings. Someone can easily screenshot anything that is on the internet and share it with the world. Even posting the most innocent things can potentially put you in danger. For example, if you post a picture wearing a school uniform a predator can find out where you go to school and what area you live in. Another example is when someone posts a vacation picture, burglars can see them and know you are not home. The internet is filled with information about us and all it takes is for one bad person to get their hands on it to put us in harms way.
