Social Media Safety: Protecting your PrivacyNever post ANY Personal

information you don't want shared with the world. Every site, forum etc. has a settings or option panel where you can control what others see. It is VERY important to find this and check:

The first rule of social networking: Assume that everything you post is public and accessible to anyone forever. These networks are great for sharing and connecting, not so great for private communication. So think before you post.

Who can read your profile, see pictures and/or location;

Who can see your posts and activities;

What information is shared with external sites and businesses;

Which applications can access your data;

What information your friends can share about you;

Which sites integrate with your social network (for example, Facebook’s Like feature).Created by Foxfire Multimedia (C) 2014

Most people you’ll meet online are genuine and decent, but just as in the rest of the world, some are up to no good and enjoy hurting others online.
