Net security

I'm not very knowledgeable in this particular topic, but I'm going to risk it.

Like I said on previous posts, the information we share on social networks is not always as private as we think, whether it be because of the lack of protections on our profile pages or because someone has hacked it secretly, which isn't very popular but can definitely happen.

Advices on this are everywhere, and they're usually ignored out of the boredom they cause by hearing them over and over again, but they are very correct, I must say.

They're not very difficult to follow if one tries to:

• DO NOT share any sort of personal data that may cause any trouble to you in the long term, aka, phone number, address, email accounts, passwords, and (this is not obligatory, just advisable) try not to let on more than you'd like strangers to remember you by.
• LEARN how to deactivate your account in case it's necessary (e.g.: abusive relationships, your being tracked ...)
• ALWAYS make your profiles private, if possible, so that only you can access to them and see them. Of course, you can also allow your closest friends and relatives to see it too, but make sure you don't click the very well-known button saying: "my friends' friends" 
• DO NOT share very personal opinions that may entitle others to accuse you of any sort of thing related to that. (e.g.: opinions on politics, offenses to others, public declarations, etc...), nor compromising photographs.
• PLEASE keep insults as far as you can from your profiles, if you want to insult someone, insult them in your mind, it's equally satisfying and no one gets hurt.
• REMEMBER that everything we post online is indelible, and therefore, it will be there whether we like it or not.

If we have these in mind, I think it's not hard to become responsible users that are less likely to suffer from unpleasant surprises related to the lack of net security.
