Do you support that our daily lives should be put up on social media all the time?
No, I'm not of the opinion that our entire life should be on social media. We should have some privacy.
Have you ever experienced or seen any case where a person has the habit of showcasing his life on social media and the effects turned out well?
Their is this family I follow on Facebook. I know literally everything about them, from the number of children they have and so many other things. When the woman was pregnant, she posted literally everything from when she knew she was pregnant to when she gave birth.
She even went as far as showing how she delivered the baby and the baby later died. I'm not saying that the social media exposure was the cause of the loss, but as individuals we should always apply caution in everything we do.
Do you think all the showcase on social media are true?
No, if there is 100% showcase on social media, 50% are not true. People will only show you want they want you to know. I have friends that we would drink Garri together and they will post on their WhatsApp status that they ate fried rice and chicken. The Nollywood movie "She must be obeyed" exposed some of the things our celebrities hide behind the Camera. Believe social media at your own risk.
Do you feel safe on steemit with your information? What can you say about steemit
Steemit is a wonderful platform that gives us the opportunity to learn from people and at the same time make money. I feel comfortable sharing my information on Steemit because it's the information that I'm comfortable letting people know that I post about on Steemit.
Conclusion
Social Media is a wonderful place, but we should be careful how we use it. I'm not saying that we shouldn't post about our personal lives on Social Media, because I personally post about my life on social media, but while at it, we should apply caution.
It's a wicked world, people can monitor you from what you post. It can also be easy for kidnappers to monitor someone through their post on Social Media. Thanks for reading through, I invite @usoro, @akareen to participate in this contest.
You have really defined the social media in a good way, as a space where you can create contents and also interact with different people from around the world.
It is not also good to post everything about our family in it, as you have just said about that family that you follow on Facebook.
Thanks for your review.
Hello friend
It's so important to know that he social media shares about 50% fake life for us to see as you stressed citing an instance of friends you have who would lie on what they are to impress their fans. The Steemit as you shared I'd very safe for us, I'm glad you shared that with us and success in the challenge my dear friend
Thanks for your comment.
Your insights on social medias impact on privacy are thought provoking. It's crucial to exercise caution in sharing personal details. Your example of a family's extensive online sharing highlights the potential risks. I appreciate your positive view of Steemit as a platform that allows for learning and earning. Well - expressed thoughts.
Thanks for your review.
¡Saludos amiga!😊
Las redes sociales nos convirtieron en sus esclavos y, la pasamos tan bien en estas plataformas que, olvidamos cuidar muy bien nuestra privacidad por ello, vemos con tanta naturalidad que algunas personas exponen detalladamente sus vidas y, esto termina en un gran problema de seguridad y bienestar emocional.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
