Sharing Online

The more information you post about yourself online, such as on public social media sites, the easier it may be for a criminal to use that information to steal your identity, access your data, or commit other crimes. Think about how much personal information you provide online about your interests, including posting pictures. Here are some tips to keep you safer when using public social media sites:

-Know how to report, block, and filter content on each site you use

-Edit your privacy settings that only you and your approved contacts can see your posts

-Before you post, ask yourself if you are comfortable sharing this information with everyone who might see it.
