So, I've been thinking a lot about online privacy lately. Anyone else feel like it's just getting harder and harder to stay safe out there? I mean, between all these apps, websites, and social media platforms asking for our data, it sometimes feels like we're giving away too much without even realizing it. A few months back, I decided to do a digital detox and clean up my online presence. I started by going through my social media accounts and tightening up my privacy settings. It's surprising how many things are set to public by default. Also, I began using a password manager to keep track of all my passwords. Seriously, if you're still using the same password for multiple sites, it's time for a change! What are some of your go-to strategies for staying safe online? Any tips or tools you swear by? Let's share some knowledge and help each other out. 😊 Here's a pic of my digital detox setup: [link to image]

Totally get where you're coming from! It's like every app is hungry for our data these days. One thing that's really helped me is using a VPN. It adds an extra layer of security, especially when I'm on public Wi-Fi. Also, enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible is a game-changer. It might seem like a hassle at first, but it’s worth it for the peace of mind. 😊

Another tip is to regularly review app permissions on your phone. Some apps ask for access to things they don't really need, and it's good to keep that in check. And kudos on using a password manager! It's such a lifesaver. If you're looking for more tools, "Have I Been Pwned" is a great site to check if your email has been part of any data breaches. Stay safe out there!
