Social media safety involves protecting your personal information, accounts, and online presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, and TikTok from threats such as cyberbullying, hacking, and scams.

• Identity theft: Personal details shared publicly can be used for fraudulent activities.
• Cyberbullying: Harassment or malicious comments can cause emotional distress.
• Account hacking: Weak passwords or phishing attacks can compromise your accounts.
• Reputation damage: Inappropriate posts or leaked personal content can harm personal and professional relationships.
• Scams and fraud: Fake profiles or ads may trick users into providing sensitive information or money.

Example: A user's social media account was hacked after clicking on a phishing link, leading to fraudulent posts that damaged their reputation.

1. Set your profiles to private and control who can see your posts.
2. Use strong, unique passwords for each social media account and enable two-factor authentication (2FA).
3. Be cautious about accepting friend or connection requests from unknown people.
4. Think before posting: Avoid sharing sensitive personal details, such as your home address or travel plans.
5. Regularly review your account's privacy settings to ensure your information is protected.
6. Watch out for phishing attempts, like messages or links claiming urgent issues with your account.
7. Report and block users who engage in harassment or suspicious activity.
8. Educate yourself about the latest scams and social media security best practices.
