For as long as we have had social media, we have been told to be careful what we post because it “never really goes away.” After watching the ted talk about your posts being tattoos because they are permanent, I went and read an article about the same concept.
The idea behind both is that when you post something on the internet, it is no longer private to you, there is no such thing as private when it comes to posting online. Your employers will be able to see everything when they are looking to hire you, the government can see everything you do, and people can steal your thoughts and act like you.
People sometimes naively believe that because it is their account, it is their personal information, and that is false. The government has access to everything you do. Also, the police can track you through the posts you make or the websites you view. It is scary when you think about how little privacy we have nowadays. If you talk about something a few times, odds are you will start to see ads on your social media for that product. They are “not listening” but they are.
