We all have a DigiCam and we keep clicking almost every moment of our lives. And then, we upload them to photo sharing sites so as to share with our friends & family. While sharing your photos online please keep the following in mind.
- It’s your personal life. Don’t make it too public.
- Understand that the potential viewers of the photos are not only those who invite, but includes anyone searching the Internet.
- So, whenever you share personal or sensitive photos, make sure you mark them as PRIVATE or PROTECTED. That is, just make sure that, the photos could be viewed only by those who invite.
- NEVER upload your images where you have no control over the display/accessibility/management of your uploaded photos.
- Use only quality services to upload like Flickr, PhotoBucket, PicasaWeb etc.
Keep these things in mind and protect your privacy online.
Have you been following these guidelines? Or have you had any experience where, leaving your images public caused you some sort of trouble? What’s your opinion about the billions of images being uploaded to the internet?
