Are We Properly Protecting Our Social Profiles? [Infographic]

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.
