Privacy concerns

[Alex]

I do get anxious about the lack of privacy in society these days, and not only just on social media. I'm also on some chat groups tied into forums and recently I've noticed people are revealing too much information which isn't safe. In one case a couple of members met up, and one ended up revealing some things about the other person publicly online. It ended up with one member being banned, and the other chose to leave the forum. It makes you wonder who you can trust, and when should you trust someone?

I agree that social media is an intrusion to privacy. When I created my Facebook account, I have already come to terms with that so I just post whatever I wanted to share with my Facebook friends, be it pictures, news or anecdotes, good or bad, it's up to them to react. However, I am also on the lookout for privacy. Some friends are overbearing and some are even authoritative. There was this friend who was always reprimanding me of my posts when I would mention something towards sex. Take note that my posts are all humorous so when I refer to sex, it is more of a joke. And then one time a young woman commented on my post that didn't suit well with that authoritative woman who replied to that young woman that I am old enough to be her father. I was disgusted and so I blocked that authoritative women. That was several months ago and some friends are appealing in behalf of that authoritative woman. Well, there should be a limitation to protect my own privacy in social media.
