To share or not to share: social media considerations

I just had an interchange with a family member about social media share. The challenge is when to share, how much to share, and what to share or not. 

We all know that there are manipulators out there ready and waiting to cheat us, abuse us, and use us. Many of these manipulators are skilled at tech skills and spend their lives working to harm others. This is daunting at best. 

What are we to do?

I'm about to embark on a new level of research related to this topic. 

I know the threats that exist, and have decided to be more transparent than not. Yes, this often frightens me, but I've made the choice because to snuff out my voice, to me, means that I am at greater risk of being underserved or heard.

This "to share or not to share" is a topic the whole world is thinking about and talking about. I look forward to what I'll learn in the days ahead. Onward.
