Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

Social media platforms let people create profiles, post updates, and interact publicly or with friends — useful for community, but easy places for scams and oversharing.

Real-World Example

Posting vacation photos while you are still away can signal an empty home — many people wait until after the trip.
