First, avoid being a proponent of fake news. Do not share without thinking. Be considerate about the things you share on your social media account.

Be careful what you share with your network. Make sure that it isn't false news that might be detrimental to someone's health or welfare.

When you post a picture online, a message, details, it will be on the internet for an indefinite period of time. When it comes to posts that include other people, the golden rule applies. How would you like it if other people posted something you would rather keep private?

Remember that there are some sites that you will have absolutely no control over.

Or something you post might be downloaded. Someone might possibly take a screenshot, or someone might share it multiple times.

So the best advice is to be careful with what you post.

Contrary to what you think, you do have control over your details online. Remember to post only what's relevant and keep your personal information private. 

Do not share or hint at passwords.
