What suggestions are offered to you in this episode about how to protect your privacy?
- The suggestion offered in the episode where thing such as informing yourself about the topic, how it affect us, what information, and how to create awareness. Another thing they mention that I believe was a suggestion is reading the access privacy. We often accept and don’t read. Another way to protect my privacy is by checking what access the apps I use have. By not accepting if I don’t agree with privacy and it also courage to take our metadata back.
If you have a smartphone, check your own privacy settings for the apps you use, and write a brief reflection about what you found when you looked.
- When looking through my setting most of the apps I use required access to my camera. Almost all the apps had access to things such as contacts, location, and camera. I had my contact listed on my Facebook some how, that was shocking. I also realized my Instagram is private but many companies still have access to my profile. I was able to have access to the exact location of some of my snapchat friends. It was shocking realizing how many information is out there and we don’t realize it.
