Maintaining a social media privacy campaign is as easy as making a plan. A plan should already be in place before a person starts using a social networking platform. However, there are many times when a person just starts to use the programs regardless of what conventional wisdom says. A person who uses the social networking system before they have a plan for keeping their social network private has very little privacy. The worst part about that is that they may or may not realize that they have compromised their own security. Therefore, the best thing for a person to do is have a social media privacy plan in place before they start using the systems.
Once, they have a system in place and they are using the system, then it is extremely easy to maintain the privacy. They just have to follow the plan. However, following the plan becomes more difficult when people try to peer pressure the person into using certain systems on the social networking platform. There are plenty of fun things to do on the social networks; however, each one of those activities costs the user in the form of money or privacy. In most cases, it is the latter, because there is a higher premium on the information about a person, then the monetary value that their attention can bring.
A good social privacy plan takes this peer pressure into account and gives the user a formula to figure out if they want to proceed with the action or if they should stray away from using the application. This is not always an easy decision on the fly because of the amount of ridicule a person can take from inaction, however, for privacy reasons, may be too great. Therefore, a person has to figure out, beforehand, what they will get involved with and what they will not get involved with and at what cost. It is OK to give up some privacy if the risks are understood and the user knows what they are giving up. However, what is not acceptable is blindly accepting terms and conditions unless a person fully understands what they are giving up in return for use of the system or application. Therefore, a smart user of the social media system has a plan or formula for figuring this out before the situation comes to pass.
Lastly, a person also needs to be careful who they let in their social networking friend or follower list. These people that the person lets into their little circle have the potential of helping or hurting a user. This is because anything that the user says about a business or person can be brought to that entities' attention by those people in the friend or follower list. There have been many incidents when the friends and followers of a certain person have gotten their "friend" fired because of statements that person has made about their company of work or whatever the case may be. Therefore, a smart social media user plans their social networking appropriately beforehand and keeps their friend or follower list to people they trust.
