JUST A THOUGHT

 I don't often delete posts that I write but now and then, after I've written and published one I think about how that post and the images used might affect other people and whether there are any privacy issues with information sharing.

A Google search provided this:

Sharing personal information and photos on a blog, like on Blogger, can carry risks including privacy invasion, identity theft, and cyberbullying. It's crucial to be mindful of the information you share and its potential impact, especially regarding minors.
Here's a more detailed look at the potential dangers:

1. Privacy Invasion:

Information Access:
Sharing personal details, including photos, on a blog can make that information accessible to a wide audience, including unintended individuals, such as marketers or malicious actors.
Data Collection:
Platforms like Blogger may collect and store data about your usage, potentially revealing your preferences and habits.

2. Identity Theft:
Personal Information Usage:
Cybercriminals can use shared information, such as names, addresses, and birthdates, to steal your identity, open accounts in your name, or commit fraudulent activities.
Password Compromise:
Using weak or easily guessed passwords for your blog can allow unauthorized access to your account and potentially reveal more personal information.

3. Cyberbullying and Harassment:
Target for Abuse:
Personal information shared on a public blog can make you a target for cyberbullying, harassment, or stalking.

Public Comments:
Blog comments can be a platform for malicious users to engage in bullying or harassment, targeting you or others.

Fairly good advice that.

I note that Richard follows this and doesn't publish photographs of his grandsons.

I'm usually careful about publishing photographs of The Old Girl as well although do occasionally drop one in to match the post theme.

I republish photographs of Robert and Richard that they themselves have published on their blogs and they do the same with photographs of me.

I guess that we just have to take care and ask ourselves if the person we are writing about or whose images we're using would approve.
