For any one in a sensitive job.

I'd say about social media:

1: Never post photos of self, family or friends. Use email or a private channel to share to family.

2: Never use your real name.

3: Never talk about where you live any more detailed than a county or city.

Unless you are famous and attention seeking, or selling on SM.

Best to avoid it altogether. There was a similar issue with an app that used fitbit or some other fitness tracker.

Why is Google allowed to buy fitbit?
