Tiny Privacy Recommendation ๐Ÿ”’:

When on a public social platform or a group chat, if you know someone from a different place, remember not to share more about them on that platform than what they have already shared there. Unless you have prior Consent from that person.

Privacy has modularity.

What someone has shared somewhere else, or privately, they might not wish to share on that new place.

Privacy works hand in hand with Consent.

And Consent can differ from one context to another.

@Em0nM4stodon I love this!

Can you elaborate on, โ€˜Privacy has modularityโ€™ please?

@Em0nM4stodon this needs to be engraved on the office wall of every therapist on social media
@Em0nM4stodon yes I noticed people would freely volunteer information about you that you haven't there but they bring in from other platforms ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜’

@Em0nM4stodon Good advice - but only for yourself, not for others.

If you post things publicly on Twitter, don't expect that nobody will mention it anywhere else. Your can't expect *other people* to know and remember where you want each thing mentioned, once you've made it public.

@Em0nM4stodon Can we remind people that it is not OK to share my contact info with WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok or anyone else? Sharing your address book with apps puts my privacy and possibly safety at risk. Just say no.
@Em0nM4stodon I had to remind myself not to mention as much earlier today seeing someone share a photo from a unique location. Decision went through a few mental rounds of review as uniqueness of this location is Google-able public knowledge and all, but final draft was "Nah if there's just one harasser who didn't connect those dots I'm best off not helping them" ๐Ÿ˜
