She meant that whatever is written on Internet is permanent and cannot be removed easily. Social Media makes it fast and easy to share just about anything.Not only can you post this information yourself, manyother sites can ask for permission to share it on your behalf. It can become viral and no one can actually track the original source and block it. In todays digital age, its more important than ever to protect your safety and privacy online. Below I have mentioned 7 important things you should NEVER share online, and make sure1. Videos of Other Peoples ChildrenVideos of kids are fun, adorab le, and occasionally downright hilarious. While you can post videos and pictures of your children at your discretion, you should always use care with other peoples kids. This applies to both your own home videos and videos that you see in your feed. Just because a parent posted a family video for her friends and family, doesnt mean that she wants you to repost it for a bunch of strangers. Always ask the parent for explicit permission.2. Spam Posts About Social Media PoliciesIts very unlikely that youre going to find out about a new and important Social Media policy via a spam-like post. These warnings are usually totally unfounded, such as the rumor that circulated stating Facebook would become a paid site. Your posts are also an insufficient way to protect your rights. One post claimed that putting it on your wall would protect your rights on Facebook. Always check these posts validity before sharing.3. Work-Related ComplaintsComplaining about work on a Social Media site is a bad i dea all the way around. The laws about what employers can and cant fire you over are still fuzzy, so its best to play it safe. Posting about blatantly inappropriate activity like calling in sick when youre well or having a workplace affair could definitely leave you unemployed.READGuest Authors Of HellBound Bloggers รข€" August 20114. Vacation DetailsPosting the exact dates of your vacation is as good as advertising that your home is empty and unprotected. Share the details of your getaway when youre back.5. Your Birth Date and BirthplaceCriminals canfind your social security number with just your name, date of birth, and birthplace. If you must share your birthday, keep the year private. Best of all, let your friends prove their true loyalty by remembering your birthday without email reminders.6. Pictures You Wouldnt Want Your Boss or Parents to SeeIf youd be mortified for your dad to see you in that bikini, or you wouldnt want your boss to have a visual representation of how many J ell-O shooters you can handle, keep these photos off of social media sites. You never know wherea computer-savvy enemy may be lurking, ready to copy and share.7. Your Location at Any TimePosting your location is risky business, and manysmartphone or tablet pc apps want to do it. Foursquare, Instagram, and even your Facebook and Twitter apps have options for posting your exact location in real-time. This lets predators know where you are and what hot spots you frequent. It also lets potential burglars know when your home is empty and vulnerable. Even if you think that you have the best laptop with latest security features, when it comes to online sharing, the security of your family and you is in your hands.There are privacy safeguards on social media sites for your protection. By all means use these, but also be careful of what you share, keeping in mind that you never know what someone else may choose to pass along.
