While sites have traditionally been one-sided, in that a person creating a web page conveys information, social media allows people to create their own content, interact with others, and be exposed to different kinds of threats. While there are various settings available to protect your privacy and security, all-too-often people will accept the default settings and not even look at what settings have been preconfigured for them. In this chapter, we’ll discuss settings on popular social media sites, and how you can change these settings to best protect yourself.
