8. Are sns safe?

Are sns safe?

First of all, let’s look over the word ‘safe’.

In the dictionary(online), it is defined

1.

a. Free from danger or injury; undamaged or unhurt

b. Not exposed to the threat of danger or harm

c. Usable in specified conditions without being damaged. Often used in combination

2. Free from risk

3. Affording protection

4. Baseball Having reached a base without being put out, as a batter or base runner.

Looking at the definition of ‘safe’, we could see that sns are far from safe. Most people use their real name and address and family members and photos of themselves on Facebook. They are exposed to threat.

But still we use sns. That is because they are supposed to be safe. If you locked you're account and changed you're settings to something like public→only friends could see, then everything besides you're name is exposed to the world.

So, in result, sns are both safe and not safe.
