What are you looking at and Who is looking at you

One of the main premises of online safety is knowing what kind of footprint you are leaving behind. However, hackers aside, do you know who else may be looking or following your online keystrokes? The article "How your Facebook posts give away your age, gender and personality type: Research confirms women love baking and babies, while for men it's Fifa and beards" written by Victoria Woollaston for Daily Mail back in 2013 (article link listed in credits) discusses a different way that your activity online may be used. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study based upon the Facebook status updates posted by users, the information gathered was analyzed and only collected based upon the few words we use to describe how we feel about our day before we hit post. Take a look back at your Facebook posts, what do you think these posts would tell someone who had never met you about who you are as a person? What kind of demographical information might you have let slip without ever realizing it, would someone be able to target you for product sales, or could you have compromised your home by posting vacation pictures. Everyone has an expectation of privacy but when we post day to day activities online do we still expect to have that privacy to the fullest extent?

We look forward to continuing the conversation of #ESafety with you!

How to photographers protect pictures on Social Media

Good afternoon,

I found really interesting information for those people who likes to work with photographs. According to Matthew Corkins he is a writer, Social Media is very productive for photographers and in other hand it can lead to stilling someone picture (work). He gives us couple of advises of how to protect pictures if its your own pictures. Those people who work in this industry or might start to work might be interested. To protecting your own work on Social Media, watermarking could be as one of the solution to the this problem. Of course it can makes pictures looks different or ugly, but at least everyone would know whose work it is. Also he suggests don't upload the full size of professional pictures in social media because other can download it and print it, but in this way they wouldn't have good quality. To upload all pictures online also bad idea, its better to post only few pictures and give people the link to your professional website. People who works with promoting their pictures on social media should know about those details. 

Thank you everyone for attention,
Iana

#ESafety and Social Media

A purpose of this project is notice how to protect ourselves in social media and why is it important to in social network.

We like spend time use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media. When we use social media, we leave a Digital Footprint. A digital footprint is a trace of data when you are using internet. For example, Facebook, browse history, emails and passwords and even your private information.

Each social media has private mode, but actually it is just perfunctory step. Hackers can discover our private information and they will deliver spam or post illegal internet advertisement by your id and many others.

During use social media, I never thought my account could be hacked, but my account already hacked by someone and it was use for illegal internet advertisement.

Like my experience, many people have experience like me or people can get under attack from hacker. 

I think, all people do not want to everyone know all about them and our information is not really safe. So, our group will figure out how to protect ourselves in social media.
