SOCIAL WEBSITES

Hi readers! In this post I'm going to speak about the social websites, I'm  sure you'll know any of them; like Tuenti, Twitter, Facebook...

Nowadays, nearly all of us use this type of sites, but we are not conscious about the consequences that they could have. When we start using a social web we get so excited because we have got the possibility to speak with all our friends, upload photos and share them with the people to see who likes them, also, we can play many games with them and send private messages to whoever we want.

But as I said, it has some consequences, many of your friends on Tuenti or Facebook for example, could gossip on your profile and see what you do, with who, where... Also, although your photos are protected for people not downloading them, anybody can take a photo of the screen and then your photo will be in hand of someone that maybe you don't want to be. Besides, if you have a private conversation with any of your friends, it's so easy to copy and paste it to anybody, and your conversation won't be so private.


When we say a friend on Facebook or Tuenti, we are not only speaking about our best or traditional friends. A friend on a social website could be anyone you know only by sight and you don't have any relation with him. Maybe not all of them are fiable and could bring you problems.

 If you are using this type of social sites or you'll use them in the future, I advice you to change all the settings and make your profile as private as possible for only your friends could see your photos, comments, etc. An important advice to take in account is to not accept people who you don't know very well or occasionally review the list of your friends and delete those you don't want to be there. Another thing that will be helpful for your privacy is changing your password once a year and don't tell it to anybody, whether is a friend, a classmate or whoever. My last advice is to be careful with the photos you upload on the internet, remember that all your friends there could see them. All this advices are valid  for those using Tuenti or Facebook and I really recommend you to follow them because I use both of this social websites and I know that privacy it's an important factor in this social world. Respecting to parents, my advice for them is not to control always their sons o daughters websites but to let them know the dangers that they can have if they don't take care about what they do.
I hope you liked all this information and you'll take in account what I've suggested you.
