Do you think it is really good to avoid uploading our own pictures in such platforms? Share your thoughts friends

When it comes Internet and online, nothing is safe ! it's depends on your lifestyle and how you will take it! If you are a traditional, sensitive and emotional person then if anything goes wrong you will take this as a serious issue. But, most of them modern women's don't bother about it.

I accept that it depends on our lifestyle,but I have seen people with modern thoughts who still refuse to upload their own photos in social networking sites.

You can follow them. Also, try to upload a photo which matches to publish in social media as it can be seen by lots of people. Otherwise, some people may misuse it. Then you can reduce the number of problems which can be cause.

Thank you Lorraine for sharing your thoughts. But what do you mean by matching to publish in social media? Is it about not uploading any sensitive things on the internet?

Exactly That's what I meant.!!
So think twice before uploading it as it measures your personality.
