Think twice before posting pictures of yourself or your family and friends.

Photographs
often contain information that could be used to identify you or the places you
visit frequently. Never post unflattering or embarrassing pictures (no matter
how funny) that could come back to haunt you. Carefully examine photos for
identifying information such as the name of your school, the name of a sports
team or organization you belong to, the address of the place you work or your
favorite social hangout. Do not give out the full name of a child in your captions.
One mother was very concerned to see her son's wrestling picture online with
his full name. Pictures can also be copied or altered and used on other
websites in ways that might be detrimental to your reputation.
