Can you maintain privacy on social media?

Maintaining privacy on social media can be quite challenging. Even with strict privacy settings in place, these platforms often gather data for marketing purposes. It's recommended to disable your location settings and avoid sharing personal information. What are your thoughts on this?

That is a good advice but most of my Facebook friends are my students past and present, my co workers, relatives, family and special friends. They know me and know them too. Those who show malicious conduct are blocked and restricted.

Of course, we must maintain privacy on social media, especially do not give your full address, where you work, do not upload too many photos like I see on Facebook, do not brag, etc.

My location settings is always turned off because it consumes battery, then again we also need to be mindful with the things we post, and how much information we give out.

Even if you set everything to the max privacy settings, it’s wild how much data these sites still collect. Disabling location settings is smart, no need for everyone to know where you are at all times.
