Protecting your Identity on Social Media sites

With social media recently playing a big role in conflicts in the middle east and the protests in Wisconsin what are people sacrificing by using social media websites to organize movements? Recently a group called Access published a guide how to maintain a high level of security on social media websites and cell phones.

The head of Access said that people often lose sight of their own security through these websites and through their cellphones during these hectic movements and organizational periods. People become focused on the goal of the group but forget about what they themselves are putting onto the internet or saying over the phone. He also makes it clear that cell phones are very unprotected and insecure and people are sacrificing their own security for convenience. With the lack of security that cell phones have it is very easy of Telecommunication companies to monitor cell phone conversations as instructed by the government.

With all of these things known Access published their guide to becoming safer and more secure online and while using your cell phone during these movements but just in everyday life as well. It is really important that we all take the time and to look over this guide to protect our own security and so we can not let Big Brother into every part of our lives.
