Social Media Grave

Oya, make you pose well for a picture. The capturing sounds of the camera are transformed to the notification of "likes" as they are posted on social media platforms. We continuously bury information on various websites and social media sites with little or no concern about how it is used.

These information can either serve as good digital footprint or bad digital footprint. This gives an interpretation of our personality in the real world.

Is social media a grave where we bury information with the mindset of it being forgotten or a springboard which serves as a source of reference to lead us to higher heights?

Young people need to understand that some companies review an interviewee's social media account and the content that he or she had posted, as part of the interview process.

Posterity, some people claim that whatever they post on Facebook is just for comic relief hence their posts shouldn't be personalized. Do you agree with them?

New websites and social media platforms are being developed and one striking feature is the need to provide personal information of the user. Have you ever thought about who gets access to these information?

Dear reader, have you ever read Facebook's privacy policies or the Terms and Conditions ?

I can bet my last coin that the answer will be NO. 

Whenever I ask someone,

"Why don't you read the privacy policies or Terms and Conditions of a social media application ?" 

The regular reponse is,

"Charley, that thing is too long and after reading, you don't even understand what they've written mpo. So you just agree with them."

This might be interpreted as one being unconcerned about who gets access to their personal information. Recently, Facebook added a feature where you could add your BLOOD TYPE so as to help others in cases of emergency and this innovation pricked my conscience. Immediately, I thought about how some individuals have been victims to human body trafficking due to the exposure of their health records. I felt insecured with this innovation and didn't comply.

 

Posterity, whenever we delete a post from our social media handles does it disappear forever?

Each post made on social media is stored for future references. Well, privacy policies state that the posts which are deleted are truly deleted. Just remember social media serves as digital footprint.

Using emojis could be a subtle cause of depression among social media users. Emoji has been tool that summarises our emotions and gestures. Social Media users must be aware about the misinformation that may arise in the usage of emoji.

Let's pause here but answer this question,

Have you ever used an emoji which does not reflect your real emotion or gesture?
