Keep Data Private Mar 28

Your #data is your digital #identity - protect it like your life depends on it... because in some cases, your life may literally depend on it.

With breaches - and police searches of social media - happening daily, it’s not paranoia; it’s #precaution

Encrypt, use fake data, stay anonymous as much as possible, and question who you share with. #Privacy isn’t just a right; it’s a #necessity
