Social Media Privacy?
By Jason R. Weiss, Esquire
Who can see that picture
you post on your social
media accounts while on
vacation? Your friends?
Friends of friends? Everyone?
While many people know and
understand the workings of
privacy settings on various
social media platforms, there
are countless other users who
are unaware of even how to access privacy settings. With
Facebook data leaks to entities like Cambridge Analytica,
not everything is in your control. However, when you are
able to take steps to help safeguard your information,
pictures, and videos, you should. For those of you with
children using social media, it is of the utmost importance
to protect their accounts to the best of your ability.

For the most part, social media platforms generally allow you
to set your entire profile to private. This means that only your
accepted friends and contacts can see what you post and
when. If you are concerned with other users coming across
your profile or account, be sure to make your account private
or for friends only. Short of deleting your account, this is
about the most privacy you can have using social media.

to pick and choose their privacy settings by category. For
example, Facebook allows you to select who can see your
posts, how other users can contact or find you, who can tag
you in posts and photos, and how the company can use your
data. Similarly, LinkedIn allows you to limit how the company
uses your data as well as who can see your profile and activity.
Further, because LinkedIn is designed more for employers,
