Purpose:
This activity encourages you to think about how your information is shared online, and how to take control of what others can see or do with your data.
What to Do:
Imagine you are setting up a social media account. You’ll see different privacy options, such as:
- Who can see your posts?
- Can people search for you?
- Who has access to your personal data?
For each option, consider the potential risks and benefits. For example:
- Making your posts public might help people find and follow you, but it also means anyone can see what you share.
- Allowing friends only to view your content is more private but limits your reach.
Reflect:
There are no right or wrong answers—just consider what you would be comfortable with and why. Think about the importance of privacy in protecting yourself from unwanted attention or misuse of your information.
