To share or not to share

I think Murphy's Law is alive and well. If we post anything anywhere online, we have to expect that it will show up where we did not originally post it. Therefore, only post what you would not mind showing up all over.

I'm really old school. If you don't want people sharing certain things then don't post it in the first place on the Internet.

I agree. Some people don't care about rules or your person choice.

I agree that it is not alright to share personal things about someone else without asking them first. I also think that goes double when the person has not posted those things themself on social media first. For instance, I do not share pictures of my children, and I certainly do not want others doing it, but I found out that someone did just this. Then, I was basically told that I needed to grow up and join the "real world" when I said that I didn't want this to happen again, because "everybody is doing it these days".

I think with social media, notwithstanding the privacy settings, chances of such things being shared wittingly or unwittingly are rather high. Therefore, I would be careful about what I want to say. Moreover, sometimes, today's friends are tomorrow's enemies. Even if what you say is right, most people are not going to follow right Dawny. Hugs..

I have a cousin and aunt who will do this with anything that is personal of mine. Pictures, sometimes rants I've made. I don't bother trying to ask them not to post or share it. If I don't want it shared I make it a post that they can not see.

I have to go with PhredWrek (sorry, I am not tagging him)... Social Media is not for personal stuff that you want to keep personal and private. I do post something that is personal, but only when I know, I can manage with it going public. For anything that I would want to remain private, it remains away from Internet. As for sharing - I normally do not share other's stuff - be it personal or professional. Only a very small number of videos or posts that have been shared thousands of times, and posted by some friends, I might share them, because I might want to view/go through them again at some later date. So, I use Fb, mostly for bookmarking reasons. Btw, I do not think, it is not that late and I can still wish you a Healthy and Happy 2016

incidents like these always remind me of that picture that slipped out of mark zuckerberg and family gathered in the kitchen back in 2012 involving randi zuckerberg (his sister) vs callie schweitzer (vox media)

My strategy on a site like this is not to post anything so personal that I wouldn't mind it being shared. Once something is "on the internet" it's...on the internet.

But we can make restrictions in our friends , tagging or groups

If people don't like to say something to another why they post them on Facebook ? They must keep their personal secrets near them not Facebook.
