MODULE 2
Social Media Awareness & Safe Posting
Learn how to stay safe and in control online.
🔍 What This Module Covers
❌ What NOT to Post:
Avoid posting locations, routines, school uniforms, workplace ID badges, expensive items, holiday dates, or vulnerable emotions publicly.
🖼 Hidden Metadata in Photos:
Photos may contain EXIF data such as GPS location, time, device serial number, and more. Some apps strip it — many don’t.
🎭 Fake Profiles & Impersonation:
Catfish accounts mimic friends, celebrities, or even your schoolmates. Their goal? Grooming, scams, or emotional manipulation.
💔 Oversharing & Emotional Bait Traps:
“Venting posts” attract predators who look for vulnerable people. Groomers study your emotional patterns.
📱 Real-World Scenarios
📸 Instagram DM Risk:
A “brand rep” offers a modelling deal — but only if you send private photos. Red flags include poor grammar, pressure, and requests for secrecy.

🧠 Extra Deep-Dive Tips
🔐 Private Isn’t Always Private:
Even private accounts leak info through screenshots, tagged photos, and friends resharing.
📤 Once Posted = Permanent:
Even deleted posts may live forever through downloads, archives, and platform backups.
🕵️ People Search You:
Employers, teachers, and predators all use your posts to build a profile of you.
🧩 Online Behaviour Patterns:
Posting at the same time each day reveals your daily routine — valuable to criminals.
