Want to share photos of special activities or vacation on Facebook or Instagram? WAIT until you are back home.
Social media allows us to easily follow our friends' activities and share our own special experiences, but when we do that we are giving out information that could compromise our safety.
If you are taking and posting a photo from 50, 100 or thousands of miles from home, you have just potentially told millions of strangers that you are not at home, your home is not occupied and that it will be awhile before you return home. It creates an opportunity for someone to "help themselves" from your home while you are gone.
In addition, to reduce undue risk:
1) Don't post any status updates about your vacation or activity while you are still away.
2) Don't tag fellow vacationers; they likely don't want that information shared about themselves either. Wait until you are back home to share pictures.
3) Don't post upcoming travel plans on Facebook. Your family are the only ones that need these plans.
Just remember, feel free to share your special activities online, but AFTER you are back home.
