Just another reminder to be careful with what you share and where you click on those social networking sites.
Some experts on online security issues think there's too much personal information being freely shared online, with few guarantees that it's safe. They also think social networkers have little understanding where their information goes and how it's used, thus giving them a false sense of security.
"I suspect that there's a whole lot of clicking without a lot of thinking," according to Mary Madden, a senior research specialist at the Pew Internet & American Life Project which studies privacy issues. "So much of this sharing happens in a way that users don't see the consequences. It's kind of a big, black hole."
You could always choose to be like the gal in this cartoon--to the tune of John Lennon's "Imagine."
