Here\u2019s to the hashtags, the likes, the followers, the DMs, and the LOLs\u2014June 30<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0marks\u00a0Social Media Day, a time to celebrate and reflect on how social media has changed our lives over the years.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Started in 2010\u00a0by media and entertainment company Mashable, celebrations have taken on\u00a0all kinds of forms. Meetups, contests,\u00a0calls to increase your social circle by one meaningful connection have all marked the date in the past. Yet this year feels like an opportunity to consider\u00a0just how heavily so many of us have leaned upon social media these past months, particularly\u00a0in a world where\u00a0<\/span>nearly 50% of the global population are social media users<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to some degree or other.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more,\u00a0<\/span>people worldwide spend\u00a0an average of 145 minutes a day on social media<\/span><\/a>. With users in the Philippines\u00a0spending three hours and 53 minutes a day and users in the U.S. spending just over two hours a day, that figure can vary widely, yet it\u2019s safe to say that a good portion of our day\u00a0features time browsing around on social media.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With that,\u00a0Social Media Day\u00a0is\u00a0also\u00a0a good day to give your social media settings and habits a closer look, all so that you can get the most out of it\u00a0with less fuss and worry.\u00a0Whether you\u2019re using Facebook, Instagram,\u00a0TikTok, or whatnot, here are several things you can do that can help keep you safe and secure<\/a> out there:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Go private<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and others give you the option of making your profile and posts visible to friends only. Choosing this setting keeps the broader internet from seeing what you\u2019re doing, saying, and posting, which can help protect your privacy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Say \u201cno\u201d to strangers bearing friend requests<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Be critical\u00a0of\u00a0the invitations you receive. Out-and-out strangers could be more than just a stranger, they could be a fake account designed to gather information on users for\u00a0purposes of\u00a0cybercrime,\u00a0or\u00a0they can be\u00a0an account designed to spread false information. There are plenty of them too. In fact, in\u00a0Q1 of 2021 alone,\u00a0<\/span>Facebook took action on 1.3\u00a0billion fake accounts<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0Reject such requests.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Think twice before checking in<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Nothing says \u201cthere\u2019s nobody at home right now\u201d like that post of you on vacation or sharing your location while you\u2019re out on the town. In effect, such posts\u00a0announce your whereabouts to a broad audience of followers (even\u00a0a\u00a0global\u00a0audience, if you\u2019re not posting\u00a0privately, as called out above). Consider\u00a0sharing photos and stories of your adventures once you\u2019ve returned.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. The internet is forever<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a famous saying for a reason. Whether your profile is set to private or if you are using an app with \u201cdisappearing\u201d messages and posts\u00a0(like Snapchat),\u00a0what you post can indeed be saved and shared again. It\u2019s as simple as taking a screenshot. If you don\u2019t want it out there, forever or otherwise, simply don\u2019t post it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Watch out for phishing scams<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re increasingly accustomed to the warnings about phishing emails, yet phishing attacks happen plenty on social media. The same rules apply.\u00a0Don\u2019t follow any links you get from strangers by way of instant or direct messengers. And keep your personal information close. Don\u2019t pass out your email, address, or other info\u00a0as well. Even those so-called \u201cquiz\u201d posts and websites can be ruses designed to steal bits and pieces of personal info that can be used as the basis of an attack.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Review your tags<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Some platforms\u00a0such as Facebook\u00a0allow users to review posts that\u00a0are tagged with their profile names. Check your account settings and give yourself the highest degree of control over how and where your tags are used by others. This will help keep you aware of how you\u2019re being mentioned by others and in what way.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Protect yourself and your devices<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Security software can protect you<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from clicking on malicious links while on social media, strengthen your passwords so your social media account doesn\u2019t get hacked, and boost your online privacy as well.\u00a0<\/span>With identity theft a sadly commonplace occurrence today<\/span><\/a>, security software is really a must.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
