SEC S15 WK1 - Life on Social Media

Do you support that our daily lives should always be posted on social media?

Posting our daily lives on social media is not a wise choice, especially when it involves personal life which should not be for public consumption. Dissemination of personal data can be provided as appropriate. Because, the risk of misuse of personal information also often occurs and can be detrimental to ourselves.

Some cases of theft that often occur in Indonesia are homeowners often posting their activities while on family vacations outside the region or abroad. This information is used by irresponsible parties to seek profit from the situation of empty houses.

Learning from this incident, it is very important for users to organize their personal lives which can be posted on social media, sharing appropriate information and not harming yourself is highly recommended.

^{Various social media}

Have you ever experienced or seen a case where someone has a habit of showing off their life on social media and the results turned out to be good?

It cannot be denied that social media is one of the most effective media currently for increasing personal branding. Many users have successfully used social media to show their existence.

I find that many people who post about their personal lives have succeeded in inspiring other users to do the same. However, I also need to leave a note, in this case they only post daily activities related to a healthy and productive lifestyle, not as a place to show off their luxury as is done by many users today.

Do you think everything circulating on social media is true?

Well this is the most interesting question! I think a small part of it is true, the rest is falsehood put on display to cover up its benefits. There is a popular saying in our area "that life on social media is not as beautiful as in real life". Sometimes, social media is used as a medium to manipulate the lives of many people.

A bad example is that many users are in debt just to show their existence with an attractive and luxurious life. This behavior is increasingly mushrooming and has a negative impact on content creators or their followers.

But it should also be noted that social media can provide great benefits if used according to its intended purpose as a medium for entertainment, information and communication.

Do you feel safe on steemit with your information? What can you say about steemit

I have several accounts on other social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and others. However, I can say that only Steemit makes me comfortable in publishing my daily life. Why is that? I feel more comfortable and safe in exploring myself through the Steemit platform. For me, Steemit users are more positive and productive than other social media users.

I am grateful, as long as I am a user there is nothing that harms me regarding the information that has been provided or published on the Steemit platform. Perhaps, this is one of the advantages of blockchain-based social media compared to other conventional social media.
