Some people believe that posts or comments among friends on Facebook are considered private, while others think that we should expect that anything said on social media might be viewed by the world and be grounds for getting a penalty

Nevertheless

However

, with a little bit of caution and with the validation of

, people can safely enjoy all benefits of those sites without taking any risks. I firmly believe that

shouldn’t get banned, because every day it becomes easier for spammers to intrude upon others secrecy. I think that comments and posts should be private as many users face

makes sure that every religion and any belief won’t get affronted from any blog or

Social media is here for long, same for hackers, spammers and online criminals who target social media accounts, especially the public ones, they can be more tempting than private accounts as they are harder to hack or impersonate. Generally, people

the comment feature

any platform as a way of delivering their opinion or

point

this

generation and people communicate most of the time through the comments, either by tagging their friends, stating a

point

or even expressing their political and religious opinions. In

such

cases, hackers find it easy to change the comment which might cause countless problems

with a friend through a comment or by uploading a

Stalking and harassment have become a well-known online issues that most people face presently. Public comments and posts make it easier for stalkers to harass and perpetrate online crimes. Many workers upload their work on the internet, and gradually internet harassment is being acknowledged as a concern at workspaces, schools and at home as well.

Cyberbullying

is used in harassing, spreading rumours,

should limit the sharing of private

, maintaining your mystery is the best thing to do.
