UI Family, you are not going to believe this one. Please take the time to watch this video and make sure you follow the steps to keep you, your family and kids safe as possible as we traverse the digital world.
Many of us take pictures with our smart phones and post them on the various Internet social media websites and even photo services like Flickr or Photo Bucket. Even our children are using the smart phones to do the same thing.
HOWEVER, this is making us, our families and children very vulnerable to thieves, predators and perverts in the world. I know this may sound impossible to you because you have your privacy settings set on your social media accounts, but don’t be so sure someone you know isn’t going to turn crazy and possibly stalk your children or family. You just never know, so take no chances with your love ones.
Why Your Smart Phone Pictures Put You At Risk
Apparently, our smart phones leave a high tech, digital trail that leads to your exact location, school, and home. This is very scary and something we need to pay attention to because there is a way to stop this madness.
The video shows you clearly how this is done. You would think once a picture is up online there isn’t much that can be done with it, but you would be wrong. The images carry that digital that will reveal your exact location at the time the picture was taken. The kicker is all they have to o is right click your image with a simple, cheap addon and they got you.
Fortunately, You Can Stop This
Yes, this very scary, but there is a way to stop this. Yes, you could just stop taking pictures or stop posting them to the Internet, but that isn’t fun in this digital world, right? You want to interact with your people, circles and friends.
Just follow these steps on your phone and your children’s phones as well.
