Social Media

  • If you don't want your friends, family, school, or employer to know something, don't post it.

  • Even if you think it is fun to share a lot of information about yourself, think about how that information could put you or your future in jeopardy.

  • Be careful about sharing too much personal information about yourself (e.g., physical address, complete birthdate, etc.) in your profile or posts.

  • Although most social media offer some privacy controls, those settings do not grant you total control of your information.

  • Ask your friends to be considerate of your reputation—being tagged in a compromising photo can be just as damaging to your reputation.

  • You should assume that any information you post—or any posted about you—will be public (http://www1.udel.edu/security/students/reputation.html).

If there has been a crime or someone is at immediate risk, call 911.
