Data Privacy

    In class, we watched a TED Talk about online privacy. This talked about internet privacy and how whatever you post on social media can be seen by anybody. This can also be known as your digital footprint, this is something that is permanent. Location information is also another way your information can be put out there with cameras put up around cities where police departments gather info on where you've traveled and who you've been with. These issues don't really affect me because I make sure what I post and do isn't bad or going to hurt me in any way in the future. As for my family, they are not really on social media besides my dad. For my friends I pray for half of them cause some stuff they put on there can really hurt if a job finds out about it or college. Ways we can protect ourselves are clearing our browser history, clearing cache, and saying no to allowing tracking on apps that ask or websites. The best thing you can do if you don't want to clear everything else is to power down your device once a day and power it back on.
