Don't let social media ruin your life. There are several crucial boundaries to maintain.
Posting details like your home address, phone number, or even your vacation plans can be risky. You never know who’s watching, and this info could be misused by scammers. Before posting on social media anything think twice.
We’ve all had those moments when we just want to vent. But posting in the heat of the moment can lead to regrets later -- especially if you say something hurtful or unprofessional. Take a deep breath, cool off, and think before you hit “post.”
Disagreements happen, but turning them into public battles can harm your reputation. Worse, if you engage in hate speech, political discussions, bullying, or threats, you could face bans, job consequences, or even legal trouble.
Just because something is on social media doesn’t mean it’s free to use. Sharing music, images, text, or videos without permission can lead to copyright strikes or legal issues. When in doubt, always credit the original creator.
Complaining about your boss, or spilling company secrets online, can actually get you fired. Many workplaces monitor social media activity too.
Not everyone is okay with their photos being shared. Whether it’s a private moment, or just an unflattering shot, posting without consent can damage relationships and even lead to legal trouble. Always take permission before posting!
Using social media while at work, in class, in meetings, or during important moments (like a wedding or funeral) can seem disrespectful. Be mindful of when and where you're posting.
If you’ve never looked at your privacy settings, now’s the time! Keeping your posts public means anyone -- including strangers -- can see what you share. Take a few minutes to adjust your settings so only the right people can access your content.
