Digital CitizenShip: Social Media AND Privacy
I wrote already about “Privacy” on my blog posts Privacy In The Digital World-SHOULDN’T We Talk About It!?, Smartphone pictures pose privacy risks and Often Asked Questions: Are There Cyber-Security Dangers With Apps And What’s About Privacy?, BUT I didn’t get enough into it to show YOU the How-To get protected MORE! That is what I will do here, so let’s GO for it 😉 As YOU know me, I will go for the BETTER solutions! I am online since 1998, got awarded in my country (for CyberSecurity & InternetSafety) and I am a very active person on Social Media twitter and facebook. Follow my experience and advice below, please, thanks.
Social Media is about sharing, right!? That’s WHAT it is mostly, BUT there are the HIDDEN commercial intents which MOST people don’t see (OUR Privacy is sold and OUR friends one too…) and there is ALSO OUR responsibility about it WHEN WE share, WE will discuss in detail here…
First of ALL, there isn’t ANYTHING for FREE in this world, even the death costs the life and a lot of money for the funerals 😉
SO… Let us analyse WHY WE get Social Media and other services on the internet for “FREE“. BTW: there isn’t anything for FREE, WE pay with OUR information which the companies are gathering!

WHAT’S About Privacy With Apps In General!?
I wrote about it already in my blog post Often Asked Questions: Are There Cyber-Security Dangers With Apps And What’s About Privacy?, where YOU could grab some more information. I will present to YOU a FREE App what checks about the permissions, for iOS and Android, check below please:
.
You’d be surprised how many things an app can learn about you and what you do. Without you ever knowing it.
Clueful is the only way to really understand iOS apps, how they use your private data and treat your privacy. This one-of-a-kind product identifies intrusive applications and shows you what they do behind your back.
