Privacy on Social Media -

Online i am part of many social media platforms, my main four including Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, and  Twitter. On all these sites you can control how much privacy you have to an certain extent. Anywhere from everyone in the world being able to see everything you do on that specific platform to even you being the only one seeing what you post or share on these sites. The most secure i feel is Facebook, because you can literally make everything to where you control exactly who sees it and even to the extent where no one can even search your name to add you, you must search their name to add them if you wish to. Although Instagram is a less interactive platform than Facebook, once you post a picture their is no filter to who you specifically want to see it, and you must delete it to stop people from seeing a picture while on Facebook you can simply just edit the privacy on that post to where only the poster (you) can view it. Tumblr on the other hand is usually very open where once you post it everyone can see it, although there is ways to make a privated tumblr where only those with a password can access that page, it isnt very private unless you keep wanting to change the password every so often, lets face it little to no one is trustworthy anymore so i feel this is one of the more open forms of social media becuase it is interactive, you post things you like but there is absolutely no filter to who can and cannot view these post. Twitter is somewhat like facebook on privacy settings with a little bit more leeway for less privacy. On all my social media platforms i try to keep it as private as possible, facebook only certain people can view certain things, no one can search me and only freinds can contact me, keeping my post mostly proffessional as well so that if anything dose happen i have no worries on who may see what. On tumblr its pretty open so i dont use my picture or real name, i use a alias so no one would know who i am or what exactly I as a person would post. I feel no real security using these platforms, why? at the end of the day all these platforms on in the "clouds" anything is accessible to those who may have the resources to gain access ( money or hackers) the only way to truly be secure is to abstain from using any of these platforms or if you do do not post anything you wouldnt want to see posted if you were a business owner and was hiring somebody.
