Should we share our personal information on social media?

We should avoid posting images or personal information.
Using social media sites like Facebook to communicate with people and inform them of your activities may be an excellent method to keep them informed. Sharing sensitive information on these sites, such as your address, phone number, family members' names, car information, passwords, work history, credit status, social security numbers, birth date, school names, passport information, driver's license number, insurance policy number, loan number, credit/debit card number, and PIN, can jeopardize your privacy and result in identity theft. Consequently, there is a reasonable probability that our information on social media may get into the hands of hackers and scammers who scour social networking sites for vulnerable users.

The hazards of information sharing on social media.
There is a risk of transmitting data and information that violates applicable laws and regulations on social media, including trademark and copyright infringement, data security problems, employment concerns, privacy rights violations, and mismanagement of electronic communications.

• How to Safeguard Our Personal Data on Social Media
• Consider the fields labeled "about me" to be optional.
• Acquaint ourself with the ins and outs of privacy settings.
• Recognize our allies.
• Establish and use a "no-go" list.
• Always log out after you're done.
• Create safe, confidential passwords.

Nothing, however, is more critical than maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information to prevent identity theft. This information enables access to your financial institutions, medical records, credit score, and other critical personal data.
