Once you step outside your home there is really no privacy.
You can wear a hat cover your face
but you just can't become invisible.
It's the same when you are online
just like there are things you don't do or say in public.
The same goes when you are online.
No website or app can guarantee 100% privacy.
We just leave so many trails behind us
when we browse the web.
So we need to be mindful of what we share.
Let's begin with things that should never
see the light of day.
Like private pictures.
These should never go online.
Then there are things we really care about.
Like our social security number bank account medical records.
Whenever anyone requests this information
we should ask why they want it.
What they are going to do with it
and how they are going to protect it.
Then there are the things we care
about but it won't be the end of the world if they are exposed.
These things should be password protected.
And lastly there are things we want everyone to know about.
The more we share the more we need to invest in our defense.
There are different technology solutions
that provide different layers of privacy.
However, the best way to maintain privacy
is to share less.
