To prevent personal information from being exposed on social media, it is important to take the following steps:
- Choose strong, unique passwords that don’t contain names, places, or dates.
- Be mindful of what information is included on profiles.
- Take extra security measures such as two-factor authentication.
- Don’t post information that you wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing with strangers.
- Set privacy settings to best limit the amount of information that can be seen publicly.
- Don’t be afraid to block or delete accounts that seem questionable or unsafe.
- Regularly monitor online posts and practices for potential issues.
