First of all you have to understand that excessive use of social media actually makes you unaware of the environment around you. Of course you will wonder how this is possible. The first thing that hurts you is that you move away from your real world to an artificial world.
The images or content you are sharing with your social media account helps people to know more about you and make sure everyone doesn't need to know you in any way. When using social media you are realizing that people are far away from you so you feel your comfort zone whereas in fact any stranger can be close to you through your account.
And not only that, but many of your friends list or family members may be the ones who share your photos from their account or discuss you with other people. In the same way, your information may reach a stranger who may be dangerous to you.
Another thing to keep in mind is that social media accounts keep changing their privacy policy day by day, so it is important for you to read your account policy at least twice a week. It is better for you not to add people under the age of 18 to your account and if you are forced to edit them, do not give them access to every photo of you.
Don't attach too many people to your social media account. Recently, it has been observed that people who have lodged their privacy complaints with the police or related agencies, after investigation, it has been found that there is no one else but their own friends.
And not only do your friends deliberately like your photos but it can also be an accident with them.
The situation can be even more dangerous in case of theft or loss of mobile phone as anyone can easily access your personal information in this way.
It is best to keep your personal information to yourself or at least share it if you have to share it with others. Remember that in case you lose your mobile phone, you can either temporarily block your account or change your password by changing it from another device so that no thief or anyone can easily access your information.
And if you don't know how to keep your information safe, you can find information on social media. And remember, it's not wise to share personal moments of your life with a stranger.
Also, you should check that no fake account has been created with your name or your photos. And if you notice a fake account in your name, report it immediately. You need to be as careful in your social media life as you are in your practical life. Remember, it is not necessary for you to accept every friend request you receive
Keep an eye on people who like or comment on your photos or information and try to find out if they know you. And if you are facing someone who is bothering you, block him at the first opportunity instead of explaining it.
