Question 2.2 - Digital Footprint

Question 2.2:

When people post things online, there is always a trail leading someone back to that post, hence the word footprint. It is important to think before you post post or share something online, as people may share or save the post. This also applies to messages as someone can take screenshots and save evidence of your chats. These posts can come back to harm your reputation. If people post inappropriate pictures of themselves online, this attracts negative attention and can affect future job opportunities as your profiles are screened.

Sometimes your posts can be used against you in the court of law.
Always member to think before you post.
