How To Protect Online Privacy On Social Media Platforms You might want to consider hiding some of your info on social media… it’s worthwhile. Recent research conducted by Javelin Strategy & Research suggests that social media users (especially Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat), face a 46% higher risk of account takeover and fraud than those not active on social networks. So how then do we protect ourselves? Limit Access To Future Posts You can limit access to your future posts to ensure that they are only visible to friends. This should reduce the amount of data being collected by facebook. Followers can see your posts on facebook, even if you don’t wish to befriend them. To prevent this, go to Public Posts > Who can follow me and change from Public to Friends. Stop People Using Your Personal Info For Finding You To prevent people from using you personal info for finding you, alter your settings in the Privacy > How people find and connect you. Prevent Your Name Being Linked With Ads Go to Ads section Under Ads settings, update your settings Select “No one” for ads that include your social actions Save changes Block Facebook Apps From Accessing Your Data It's possible to limit and reduce the info that Facebook apps can access. To block such apps: Go to Preferences > Apps, websites and games menu Switch from Turned on to turned off Prevent Twitter From Tracking You Control how twitter collects and share your data In your Account page, click on Privacy and Security Go to Personalization and data Click an disable all Click on save changes Stop Including Location Data In Tweets Navigate to Settings and Privacy Under the Tweet location section, uncheck the box of “Tweet with a location” Stop Twitter From Accessing Your Contacts In the Privacy and Safety menu, scroll down to “discoverability” Uncheck the boxes to stop others from finding you by email address or phone number Make Your Posts Private One of the most essential steps to take in protecting info on Instagram is to make your posts private. From inside the app, click the Settings button and thus toggle “Private account” on. Prevent Instagram From Sharing Info With Other Social Networking Sites Access the Settings menu, and then select “Linked accounts” Unclick all of the accounts you wish to remove Reduce Profile Info Instagram only requires you to put a username on your profile. So make your username anonymous, and do not include any other information. Snapchat Make Sure Only Your Friends Can Contact You Snapchat makes it possible for anyone to contact you, but it's probably best to limit this to your friends. In Order to achieve this, first access your profile tab via the “gear icon”. Find the Contact me option under the ‘who can’ heading in your settings, and select ‘My friends’. Select Who You Want To See Your Stories Click the gear icon, then scroll down to the ‘who can’ section and tap ‘view my story’. You'll then have the option of customizing who sees your stories. Remove Yourself From The ‘Quick Add’ Section ‘Quick Add’ enables you to be added to the friends list of mutual friends. To disable this setting, locate the ‘gear icon’ > ‘Show me’ in ‘Quick add’ and then turn it off.

The best approach is, do not take a picture even in private that you would not want the whole world to see. Do not write even in private what you would not want the whole world to read.

Also: How to Protect Yourself from Social Media Addiction 1. Never forget that Facebook, Nairaland and Instagram likes and comments do not increase your status. Don't take them seriously beyond necessary. 2. Rinse and repeat. About two weeks ago, I heard the story of a lady who nearly committed because she was not getting enough likes on her Facebook pictures, despite how she had been religiously liking and commenting on other people's posts and pictures. 2 Likes |
