Who's Checking You In/Out?
Enhancing Safety in the Digital Age
Twitter. Tumblr. Facebook. Foursquare. The Internet provides instant access to information and social networks while potentially exposing an individual to risks, both personal and professional.
Your online identity and internet image can often precede you. New friends, romantic partners, and potential employers/graduate schools can make a first impression based on your online profiles. Consider the following:
- How many different online social networks are you a part of?
- Have you adjusted privacy settings on these different websites?
- Have you Google'd yourself?
- Do you know who can see your personal information?
- Have you ever been creeped out by something/someone online?
