for our second question of digital literacy we were asked to describe at least 3 strategies that will keep our digital footprints safe.
my first strategy to be able to keep your footprint safe is to put different passwords on all of your social media. having one password for all of your accounts is a rally bad idea, if a person figures out your password, they can get into all of your accounts and deeply impact your digital footprint. another thing you should do to keep your digital footprint safe is to make sure that your password is not too simple. if you just say your name and birthdate initials, you will be more likely to have your account hacked. if you make a random password or things that you will remember you will be less likely to have your account stolen or hacked. and finally, you should always read the cookies terms of policies, if you are not aware to what you are agreeing to, you could agree to things that you do not enjoy or would regularly agree to. you should always at least skim the terms to check that you aren’t agreeing to anything you don’t like.
