Many of us love to update our social media
profiles regularly and will happily do so without any consideration for the
privacy of the posts. You may not realize it, but most of your social media
updates will give your location away, which can be fully intentional in the
form of a Facebook check-in but could be visible totally unbeknownst to you.
The default privacy settings of most social
media platforms leave a lot of your information exposed, so it’s highly
recommended to check these settings and amend them so that you’re not leaking
any facts or information that you don’t want to publicise. This infographic
from Irish Telecom
examines the privacy settings of six widely-used social sharing platforms and
advises on how you can protect your information so that it isn’t advertised to
an unintended global audience.
