Social media survival guide

Online I appear as a boring person because i barely post anything on instagram. Before i post I think about If my dad should see this or not. And if this will impact me on anything. The pros and cons of sharing online are that your post can have a bad effect on you and your reputation and good thing is that you can express yourself on there. Lack of control can impact online lives because you can start being a different person online than you are in real life. I think companies should do a media background check because the potential employer will be representing you and your company.  Freedom of speech is expressing the way that you feel but something that is protected is your opinion. If your statement hurts someone or a company and if it is not true it is not protected by law. An internet troll is someone who intentionally hurts someone through the internet. The goals of internet trolls are to make someone have a reaction or to hurt people's feelings. We can stop internet trolling is  to have people hurt the troll back or to make a law saying that internet trolling cannot be allowed. The pros of posting online anonymously is that your identity is safe to the public but it is not safe to the authorities.
