Don’t share your holiday plans!
Don’t discuss any holiday plans on any type of open forum
i.e. Facebook. I’m sure you have all heard the horror stories where over a
thousand people turned up to a party that had been made public on Facebook, it
would be like that but a party for... burglars!
According to online etiquette blog ‘Netmanners’ social network sites such as Facebook and
Twitter are accessible by anyone although you are letting your ‘friends’ know
what you are up to there is always the underlying issue that anyone can access
your information and find out what you are up to i.e. burglars.
An interactive Facebook App was developed in 2011 to
highlight the dangers of posting too much personal information on the internet
called ‘Take This Lollipop’. The short horror film takes personal information from
your profile through the use of your pictures and messages and shows a
‘Facebook stalker’ typing on a computer with your personal information
appearing on his screen and then eventually he uses Google maps to pinpoint
your position then he is seen driving to your location, therefore demonstrating
to you the dangers of sharing personal information on the internet.
