Your privacy is what really matters. Many people who use social media enjoy sharing and what they share to friends and followers often times more than you might expect, get shared with people who are NOT YOUR FRIENDS and are NOT MEMBERS OF YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK. For this reason, the fact that there are people out there who don't care about you. people who are just curious and like to make trouble for you and the platforms that are always at highest risks are the most popular sites online. You already know them so I don't have to name them here. But have you ever wondered why so many younger people find the internet so fun and who do not know the risks but seem to be the widest number of internet users on social media today? Because they can. Children are more curious than adults. Adults are pretty much set in their ways and don't like new things. Normal adults do find themselves victims of online threats and have the common sense, most of the time, not to post pictures of themselves aka 'SELFIES' , and they certainly never post images of their children when the following criteria are not met: Posting only on private group settings not PUBLIC. Posting pictures of themselves or their family including children who are underage for social media sites such as Facebook to name the one most popular where children of all ages are subject to predators and exploitation by cyber criminals. Posting selfies or family pictures online is one of the most dangerous things you can do but to make matters even worse, if those pictures catch the interest of an online predator such as a criminal pedophile, who has just been released on several counts after serving time in a maximum security prison, and he or she takes a fancy to one of the pictures and can see bios information on Facebook or Twitter or MySpace, to name 3 main sites, Instagram is another, or Photo Bucket, to name another. The bios information gives the name of the person who posted an image, even their pet chihuahua 'Buttercup' - their prized pet and the evil doer online, sees your city and state and reads just enough of your bios and stuff that you post online to get some idea where you may live, it's just a matter of when not if, that that predator finds your house, and when you least expect, 'Buttercup' becomes the next missing dog on a list of thousands gone missing, snatched right out of the front or back yard of a local resident. Pet predators, child predators, even Adult predators, are real and they use the following methods to find out more about you just so they can either steel your identity, kidnap your kids, and your pets, or abduct you and you end up somewhere in a camp where professionals in the black market of human traffic sell you to a killing club where you are auctioned off like some piece of real estate. I know it all sounds so terrible and so mean but I just felt that I needed to post this today for some reason. If for nothing else than to make people realize that when you do a selfie and post it on Instagram, Facebook or Tumblr, to name 3 major social media and sharing sites today, you should think twice before ever posting images that could be traced back to their original geographical locations just because the thing is, I am looking out for your safety. I want you to have a happy and safe and fun time online, not become a cyber criminal's next victim. Read the following article below from daily news: "The Dangers of Posting Photos Online" - article:
