What you write online isn't written in pencil... It's written in pen. If you're not okay with the fact that your future grand-kids may see what you've shared.... Be a good digital citizen, DON'T SHARE IT! Everything that happens on the internet can be viewed by a vast, invisible, and often anonymous audience. Anything you post, whether you remove it or not, still exists in cyberspace forever no matter what you do.
Once something is out there, it lasts for a long time.
Everything leaves a digital footprint.
- Post pictures of others without their permission
