6 Things To Keep In Mind Before Posting Your Pictures Online
4. Your photograph can be used to create fake profiles
Did you know, millions of women across the globe have been targets of fake profiles? Someone can simply copy your pictures from your account and create a fake account in your name. We don’t even want to think of what would happen if someone started sending messages to our contacts from a fake account. That would be a disaster, wouldn’t it ?
5. Privacy settings are not straight forward
Show us one social networking site where the privacy settings are easy to use and understand. Nope, we bet you can’t name any. That’s the problem. If you think that the pictures you post online are set as ‘visible only to friends’, you may be in for a surprise. If your friends tag themselves in the picture, their friends might be able to see it too. And the chain is never ending.
6. Your picture says a lot
We all know the saying ‘A picture says a thousand words’, don’t we? That’s exactly what you must remember before you post your picture online. Your friends, relatives, work colleagues, employer, prospective employer, client or customer form an impression of who you are from the picture that you post online. Does this make you cautious before posting your picture? Wouldn’t you always like to portray a professional image to your clients and customers?
Like we’ve mentioned, there is much more to posting pictures online than what we women perceive it to be. There is no dearth of idiots who will do anything for a laugh or to brag to their friends. Don’t let anyone malign your image.
