Study Notes
Online Images and Privacy
- Once an image is uploaded online, it can be saved and used by others without permission, and the uploader may have little control over its distribution and use.
- Social media platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram own the images uploaded to their sites and can use them without consent.
- By using these platforms, users automatically consent to their images being used in this way.
- Posting personal images can reveal information about oneself, including location, travel history, and social connections, which can be dangerous in certain circumstances.
Online Safety Risks
- A determined online predator can easily find information about an individual and impersonate a close friend if they are not careful about what they post online.
- Posting personal information online can put individuals in danger, particularly if they are being tracked or targeted by exploiters.
Negative Impact of Social Media
- Social media can promote poor mental health and body image problems, similar to the criticism of beauty magazines and adverts.
- Selfies and social media can contribute to the promotion of an unrealistic and harmful ideal of beauty.
