Your social media footprint
While social media is a fantastic way to keep in touch with friends, share experiences and connect with people you may have never before thought possible, it can also leave a lasting and visible impression of you.
As a result, you are encouraged to think carefully about the posts you make and the access you allow others to have to your accounts. By maintaining strict privacy settings on your accounts, you are able to reduce the risk of identity or property theft and keep your social life private.
Please be aware that:
- privacy settings can be used to restrict how much data others can see, especially people who aren't already your friends in the physical world.
- compromising photos or ill-advised comments could be viewed by people outside of your friendship group, including family members or prospective employers.
- If you post something which contravenes any of the University of Oxford’s rules or regulations, you may be liable to face disciplinary action.
