One of my previous bosses use to say ‘the Web is like a fish bowl , everybody can see in’. That is even more true today. I can’t count the number of people that have their photos available to me on Facebook just because I’m a friend of friend. Do they know me? Can they trust me? If you think your photos are secure when you upload them, think again.
Social media has empowered people to connect with people in ways never thought before. It has also increased each person’s global reach and influence. That being said, it has also increased risks. I’m not saying to commit social media suicide, just know your risks and be smart.
Here is a great video that demonstrates the risks.
