#if you can find anything remotely incriminating on whitepages just do a full wipe of your socials and start again

daily reminder to NEVER FUCKING POST PHOTOS NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE

#god some of y’all have NO self-preservation when it comes to online privacy #even your first name can be a risk. people can and WILL find everything they can about you so make sure you protect yourself #for the love of god delete accounts you don’t use anymore #don’t put your face where you say dumb shit you may later regret. i saw a tiktok of one of my friends jokingly saying kys about discourse #THAT SHIT WILL NOT FLY IN 10 YEARS. not to sound like a gen xer BUT IT WILL HAUNT YOU #never give out your insta to people you meet online if it has your face and location #please please please do not tie your art to both your irl and your online self unless you are prepared to face it in 10 years #don’t put your last name anywhere. if you need to give one use one of a relative. preferably one that’s common #my last name is ridiculously rare so you’ll never see me post about it #don’t fucking put your name anywhere online if you’re a registered voter in the us because YOUR ADDRESS IS PUBLIC #your BIRTH RECORDS ARE PUBLIC. your MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE RECORDS ARE PUBLIC #if you can find anything remotely incriminating on whitepages just do a full wipe of your socials and start again #i’m begging y’all please be careful. and if you ARE planning to meet someone you know online #make sure you always have as much if not more info about them as they do about you #i know it sounds shitty but always have some kind of leverage because situations like that can go bad fast #also be careful of which irls you talk about to online people because you don’t want to put them at risk accidentally #i’m screaming from the rooftops THIS GENERATION HAS NO STANDARD OF PRIVACY. it’s fucking terrifying #michi.txt
