In this article, the importance for online privacy is very crucial. There are numerous dangers in giving out your information online without even considering the consequences, such as: where you live, the school you attend, your age, the pictures you post, relationship status, family history, information that could easily be used against you in harmful ways. There are also consequences to posting pictures that will leave a digital tattoo for someone later in life to stumble upon and use again you. Such as naked pictures, pornography, party pictures, any form of adolescent activities that will forever scar your portrayal to the world.

So much of us, are obviously posting things that could later effect our lives negatively. Facebook, dating websites, and form of social networking could automatically put you at risk, for your life because you are behind a screen, and you never know who is going to be on the other end. Everyone should consider the cautions they are participating in. There is also that caution for a potential job seeker, and you could be easily selling yourself short by the information you provide that could automatically put you at dismissal. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST ONLINE! :)
