The internet is can be dangerous. Strangers can use your photos or your name as an advantage for fame. Social media like snapchat or Instagram can show your location, this can lead to people being followed or stalked. Sharing too much personal information is dangerous because people can steal your identity and pretend to be you online.

To avoid strangers stealing your identity, keep your account on private and only accept the friend request of people you know. Keeping your account on private will prevent other users to access your information like your post, captions, or location.

If the account isn’t set up properly then the accounts can be hacked or stolen.
