Propspective employers, lawyers in custody hearings and divorce proceedings are using what you do and say online in hiring decisions and in court. In article after article there are more cases of people losing out on a job opportunity, or even losing benefits or disability payments because pictures posted on Facebook.
While I am not so much worried about people getting away with duping their spouses, employers or the government, there is also the worry about having your identity stolen on some social media site. Also, there is the safety of children and child abduction cases to worry about. This is a real threat and needs to be taken seriously.
So below is a great video about Facebook privacy that you should watch and take the needed steps to protect your online identity.
When in doubt, don't post something online. There is a saying that goes 'once on the Internet, forever on the Internet'; You can't get it back.
