Social networks have taught us to be open: you can publish photos, repost quotes, videos or memes, not be afraid to indicate the city and place of work. Perhaps 10-15 years ago, when life was better and the grass was greener, it was quite safe to share all this with other users. It is not for nothing that the VK section is called “friends”. Unfortunately, life has become harder, and data, at times, fly away irrevocably into the hands of fraudsters: it’s time to get used to the fact that openness is becoming a thing of the past. What information is better not to share on social networks?
We tell you what not to share on social networks
Why screenshots are dangerous
Perhaps one of the most important points of digital hygiene, which we talked about in a separate article . Screenshots are very harmless, but sometimes they are sent to each other – and so on ad infinitum.Do not post screenshots of the correspondence – let it remain with you
They can be funny, but they often contain confidential information. And we, sending them to friends, do not think about it. Thanks to screenshots that once went to the people, whole publics and channels in Telegram live. It is not recommended to publish them on your page for the same reason.

Why you can’t talk about your plans
Some friends like to post stories on Instagram from the so-called pre-party, when the main party has not started, and everything is just slowly getting a taste. What’s bad about it? For example, the fact that someone simply forgot to invite – in this case, at least, it is unethical to post stories.
It is very interesting to read about the soul of another person. But you shouldn’t write about your own plans.
Also, it’s best to stick to the “what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas” rule. So subscribers will not find out about your adventures and other moments that can compromise you. Filter what you post on your personal page.
Use of personal data without consent
Many bloggers believe that everything is allowed to them: they publish videos while driving (sometimes drunk), recordings with other people they saw on the street. This goes beyond all boundaries: someone does not even think about fame, but it appears quite suddenly, when another star wanted to publish an angry comment in his address.
Have you posted a video of a passer-by falling? You may one day be in his place
The user begins to write and threaten the fans of the celebrity. It seems that someone began to forget that you can not post page addresses without the consent of people.
Why is there so much negativity on the Internet?
There are times when the nerves cannot stand it or an unpleasant life situation simply occurs in which two loved ones quarreled. As a result, the one that is active in social networks begins to publish strange posts about loved ones. Some have the courage to even tag a person in a post! As a result, subscribers will find out the unpleasant details of personal relationships: I think no one wants this, but they have to read.
There is already a lot of negativity on the web – no need to aggravate
Yes, after some time the record can be deleted, but everyone will remember this act. What can we say about the Internet – he remembers everything! Our Yandex.Zen remembers a lot – it contains thousands of interesting articles! Come visit!

Why you can’t publish baby photos on the Internet
Social media is one of those places where people are used to sharing everything . And what? Let it be! It’s good when your personal page is closed from prying eyes. But it is not worth publishing photos of children for sure. We laugh at our acquaintances who cover the faces of children with emoticons – what can we do, this is really stupid.
Why would anyone know what your kids look like?
You are happy to post a family photo, and he can start “traveling” on the Web. In addition, social networks are full of inadequate people and scammers who can use photos against you. It is better to share files directly with family and friends, and not post them for everyone to see.
Can I post a phone number
It is forbidden. Do not do this under any circumstances ! I remember that VK used to like to publish phone numbers, places of work, study or work. Your number will be used against you one day, but you won’t even know how it happened.
Refuse to publish your phone number on the Web – there will be less chances of intersecting with scammers
And what to say about addresses: do you need some crazy person with whom you bite into the comments to come to your work to sort it out like a man? The same goes for online dating: who knows what the girl with whom you began to chat in personal correspondence is keeping quiet? Nobody seems to want a face-to-face showdown with her angry boyfriend.
Why share a location
This seems to be one of the reasons why FourSquare died. Marking places on maps where you have been was not always dangerous. But times have changed: posted a photo – do not attach a geolocation to it. Who knows what’s on your subscribers’ minds?
Upload a photo without a geolocation: who knows what people have in mind
Perhaps someone wants to join your modest gatherings at the dacha, driving up their noisy car and boxes of alcohol. In any case, the Internet already knows a lot about us – it is better to refuse to publish the location.
We remembered only a few points that should not be shared on social networks, even if you know the subscribers personally from childhood. You cannot predict who is holding the stone in his bosom, where your data will end up. What else, in your opinion, should not be published on your page? Share your experience in our Telegram chat !
