Public Service Announcement: Living a Life of Public Access
People are doing way too much on social media. Any given day, I can log into my social media accounts and read status updates about cheating, divorce, last night’s date, random itching, etc.
Yes, random itching.
What’s even worse is that they’re over sharing with no consideration of the possible backlash. There’s absolutely no way that they’re considering any sort of backlash because they’re just out. Social media is the new public access TV. Millions of people have access to it and status updates can go viral in seconds.
People are watching and taking notes. Don’t allow yourself to become blinded by the share button. Once you post that information out there for the world to see, it’s a wrap. You can delete it, but that doesn’t mean that someone hasn’t already captured it in a screenshot or some other method.
Is that post about last night’s date that left you randomly itching really worth it?
Me thinks not.
I was about to come to the defense of a status update about last night date up until you added that random itching. Now I completely agree
Hey!! It’s nice hearing from you. Hope all is well. I actually enjoy the status updates about last night’s date until it starts to become TMI. I don’t think some people know when to edit.
Exactly! I’m slowly reducing my ‘digital footprint’ but I totally agree with u on that! When I had a Facebook it was status after status of extreme tmi lol
Did you remove your blog as part of your digital footprint reduction?
No. It’s just under construction lol
I removed my Facebook and Twitter
Oh okay! Please let me know when the blog is back. I miss reading it.
Ha! I wish everyone understood that the internet isn’t your private diary.
