Sharing photos on Facebook is part of the daily lives of many users, but some images may pose a risk to privacy and security. What seems like a simple publication may contain sensitive information that facilitates third party access to personal data.
Publication of Facebook photos that reveal the location of the residence, the workplace, or the children’s school can compromise safety. In addition, images shared in real time indicate that the house is empty, which can be a risk for robberies. This problem has been taken seriously by some insurers, who already refuse to cover losses if users have exposed their location on social networks.
Another common mistake, explains, is the sharing of airplane tickets with visible barcodes. These codes may contain information about travel and even payment -associated personal data such as credit cards. Also the photographs of children should be avoided as they can compromise their privacy in the future and put them at risk.
Photos that can provide password clues are another factor to consider. Many users use family names, pets or special dates to create passwords. By sharing images that include this information, they can facilitate the work of hackers trying to access personal accounts.
In addition to safety risks, there is also the issue of digital reputation. Party photographs, intimate moments or content that can be considered inappropriate can affect the personal and professional image. Even if they currently do not represent a problem, they may arise in online surveys years later.
Another aspect to take into account are the images protected by copyright. Publishing photographs without permission of the author can result in legal penalties. To avoid problems, it is essential to verify the origin of the contents before disclosing them.
Eliminating certain types of Facebook photos is an essential measure to protect privacy and avoid unnecessary risks. Reflecting before sharing is critical to ensuring that online presence does not compromise personal and others security.
