I Have Nothing To Hide

I believe that everybody has something to hide when on the internet. You may not think that what you put on the internet matters or that only your friends can see it, but in reality, anybody can see it. Inappropriate pictures and status' can be seen by your family, jobs, coaches, even future schools that you plan on attending. Everything you put on the internet is there for the public whether you want it to be or not. Even if it's as insignificant as complaining about a co-worker or your job in general, it can come back to haunt you. Some jobs may not look at your Facebook, but some do, and if they don't like what they see, they may not even consider hiring you.

Personally, I am fairly cautious about what I put on my social media sites or websites in general. I have family members that I'm "friends" with on Facebook and most times I "like" my employer page, so I don't normally post anything but pictures on the rare occasion. Most of the time if a website asks for more than just general information such as my e-mail and name I won't continue with whatever I'm doing. I know that whatever goes out there, I can't get back and it'll be there forever. I'm always worried as to what can come of this, I can only imagine how easily information about ourselves will be released or found in the future. But in the meantime, I believe people should only post what they want the world to see and know, that it's not private.
