June 8: Writing Prompt #159-Do Not Disturb

How do you manage your online privacy? Are there certain things you won’t post in certain places? Information you’ll never share online? Or do you assume information about you is accessible anyway?

What a boring topic! Sorry about that. Yes, of course, there are certain things I won’t post any place, such as my birthday, SSN, etc…Unfortunately, there are too many people out there who like to steal identities, and I’d prefer it’s not mine.  Sometimes, I feel I reveal too much, and if someone really wanted to crack “my code,” I’m sure they could, but I try not to be too much of a target.  Funny, I don’t really even like writing about this, so I’ll be brief.  I have learned a decent amount about how and what to do and not do in terms of security from living on military bases and watching AFN(Armed Forces Network). In fact, I’ve learned a ton just in my training courses from working with the government. That’s one thing they are very good at, making sure you are trained in everything possible all at one time. J  But anyway, yes, I do try to manage my online privacy and not share too much, but I also assume there’s more out there about me that is easily accessible than probably should be.   What about you? Do you think about privacy when you post online?
