You should be aware exactly what you’re signing up for
Take Facebook for example
Their main purpose is to connect users in relation to their real world identities, and so they leave much of the responsibility of privacy protection to you as the user
(Goettke & Christiana, 2007)
Take Facebook for example
Their terms of service are lengthy with over 14,000 words which could take up to 2 hours to read

I aim to summarise the important information in Facebook’s terms and policies to help you make informed
decisions about how to use the platform.
Consider your Privacy
Have a think about what you reveal
Don’t just hand over large amounts of information about yourself to a relatively faceless organisation
