Thoughts on Social Media: LJ1 1/22/23


My personal ‘donts’ of social media are sharing live location, nudity, politics and To much information posts. My ‘dos’ consist of posting things that my family and friends would be comfortable seeing, and light hearted content. I first started using social media in 2008. In middle school, I would post childish things scubas candy and my sister. Now I post on my personal page things I have been up to recently, my dog, and family. I used to use aim and myspace, but now I use Facebook and instagram. Online image can be dangerous and unrealistic. And that falls into comparing yourself to others. It is dangerous and can damage ones mental space. Rules in my book include content that has too much information, nudity, gore or anything that could be disturbing. I feel like quitting social media in this day and age is very brave in the sense that almost everything revolves around it. I do not have any issues about selfies and self expression on social media as long as its not vulgar. Kids have access to social media so young, so I personally like to keep it clean!  My evolving online behavior is now changing in the aspect of wanting to be more business focused. I have just realized the power of social media for small businesses and want to dissect and learn more about it. I wish I would have known the while tracking information and how much information you put on a phone will ultimately be accessible my someone. Like bank statements, and other personal things like that.

                  After reading We Are Data -Preface and introduction, I was surprised to learn more about the EU google restrictions. I was although I am aware of some of the things that the preface and introduction talked about, I still found it very creepy in a way how were all categorized by our internet usage. I logged into the   www.google.ads/preferences   and was looking through everything, surprisingly, they are very accurate. To the point of knowing personal things like we are trying to get pregnant. I also logged into google EU and did some research on there. Even looking up celebrities and influencers to see of the are categorized as one. Knowing this, I did change some privacy settings.
