Ma jeceshahay martiqaadka dhibka? In kasta oo qofna aanu samayn, haddana waxay yeedhiyaan dhibaato. Waxay u sameeyaan si ula kac ah - taasina waa iyada oo si xad dhaaf ah loo wadaago baraha bulshada. Maqaalkani waxa uu diiradda saarayaa dhibaatooyinka la wadaaga badan ee baraha bulshada sida Facebook , Foursquare , iyo Twitter . Waxa kale oo ay ka hadlaysaa qaar ka mid ah mareegaha gaarka ah iyo apps-ka loo qorsheeyay in lagu kordhiyo wacyiga ku saabsan martiqaadka dhibaatooyinka iyada oo loo marayo qoraallada warbaahinta bulshada.

Mareegaha aan maqaalkan kaga hadlayno ayaa ah kuwo aad u balwad leh – Facebook iyo Twitter – sidaa awgeed waxa loo tixgaliyaa inay yihiin opium-ka cusub ee shacabka^{(new opium of the masses)(new opium of the masses)} ! Waxay ku siinayaan hab aad kula wadaagto waxyaalaha noloshaada la xidhiidha, iyagoo sidoo kale bixinaya hab aad ku soo saarto shucuurtaada.

Foursquare ayaa hormuud ka ahaa tan oo mar kuu ogolaatay inaad 'ka soo gasho' meelo kala duwan si asxaabtaadu u ogaadaan meesha aad joogto. Isticmaalka sahlan awgeed, dadku waxay wadaagaan wax kasta oo maskaxdooda ku soo dhaca. Waxa lagugu martiqaaday casho saaxiibkaa Waxaad samaysaa tweet oo u dir Twitter . Waxaad aadaysaa goobta saaxiibkaa oo 'check-in' addoo isticmaalaya Foursquare si aad dadka kale ugu sheegto meesha aad joogto.

Wadaagista Baraha Bulshada

Laakin intee in le'eg ayaad tahay markaad isticmaalayso mareegahan? Maxaa dhacaya marka aad profile ka samayso Facebook oo aad waxyaabo ku dhejiso? Maxaa dhacaya marka aad soo geliyaan sawirka gaadhigaaga cusub ee la hor dhigay gurigaaga hortiisa? Maxaa dhici kara marka aad 'ka soo gasho' Foursquare marka aad joogto goobta saaxiibka? Waxaa jira waxyaabo ay tahay inaadan la wadaagin baraha bulshada^{(things you should be not sharing on social sites)} ! Aan ka hadalno dhibaatooyinka suurtagalka ah ee wax la wadaaga qof kasta.

Xagee joogaa Kaalay i hel!

Waxaad ku dhejin kartaa sawirada Facebook iyo Twitter labadaba . Markaad gujiso sawirka, waxay diiwan galinaysaa xogta^{(records metadata)} badan oo ay ku jirto booska juqraafi ahaan marka loo eego loolka iyo dhererka. In kasta oo Facebook iyo Twitter ay leeyihiin astaantaas si ay meesha uga saaraan xog kasta oo ku lug leh sawirrada, waxay sameeyaan kaliya marka aad isticmaaleyso shabakadooda internetka. Inta badan oo naga mid ah waxay u egtahay in aan gujino isticmaalaya telefoonka gacanta oo aan cusbooneysiinno xaaladdeena anagoo adeegsanayna isku mid. Labada Facebook iyo Twitter- ka waxay ku guul daraysteen inay meesha ka saaraan xogta-meta inta ay la tacaalayaan codsiyada qolo saddexaad ee soo dejinta iyo wadaagista sawirrada.

Haddii qof uu rabo inuu ogaado faahfaahinta ku saabsan halka aad ku sugan tahay marka uu gujinayo sawirka, iyada ama isaga ayaa si fudud u soo dejisan kara sawirka oo ay ku socodsiin karaan qaar ka mid ah software sida ExifTool oo loogu talagalay in lagu soo saaro xogta badan ee sawirada^{( extract metadata from images)} . Marka lagu isticmaalo Khariidadaha Google^{(Google Maps)} ama Google Street View , isku-duwayaashan waxay bixiyaan khariidadda waddada meesha sawirka laga qaaday. Bal qiyaas^(Imagine) inaad soo gelisay sawirka gurigaaga. Qofka baadhista samaynayaa si sahal ah ayuu kuugu raadin karaa marka isaga ama iyada ay helaan khariidad dhamaystiran oo meeshaada ah. Taasi miyaanay cabsi ahayn?^{(Isn’t that scary?)}

Kaalay I Duldhac

Anigoo baarayay dhibaatooyinka wadaagga badan, waxaan la kulmay kiis ay haweeney u adeegsaneysay Foursquare inay 'ka hubiso' meel kasta oo ay tagto. Si qariib^(Strangely) ah (ama maya), mid ka mid ah asxaabteeda ayaa had iyo jeer ka soo muuqday isla meel daqiiqado gudahooda markay dirtay goobta. Si kale haddii loo dhigo, iyada ayaa lagu daba-galayay qof ku salaysan 'Check-ins' ee Foursquare . Waxay markii dambe la xiriirtay 911 si ay uga takhalusto qofka maadaama ay joojin weyday isticmaalka Foursquare . Casharka laga bartay kiiskan waa laba arrimood:

1. Ha ku casuumin dadka inay ku daba galaan
2. Aad u taxaddar marka aad saaxiibo ku samaynayso shabakadaha xidhiidhka bulshada - dhammaantood maaha dad fudud oo ku mashquulsan noloshooda.

Ka hadlida Foursquare , arrimuhu way ka sii daraan marka mid ka mid ah asxaabtaada uu ku soo dhaco gurigaaga oo uu ' hubiyo ' Foursquare . Ciwaanka gurigaaga isla markiiba waa la arki karaa qof kasta oo la xidhiidha saaxiibkaas. Saaxiibkaagu waxa laga yaabaa inuu si joogto ah u soo booqdo meeshaada oo uu ku sii wado ' hubinta ' Foursquare isla mar ahaantaana, isagoo ka dhigaya cinwaanka gurigaaga mid caan ka ah internetka^(Internet) . Adiga ayay ku xiran tahay sida aad ula dhaqanto dadka noocaas ah.

Sidoo kale, markaad tiraahdo meel ayaad joogtaa, waxaad sidoo kale dirtaa calaamad muujinaysa inaadan meel kale joogin. Haddii aad tiraahdo waxaad joogtaa dukaan kafeega, waxaad sidoo kale sheegaysaa inaadan joogin guriga. Marka la eego in cinwaanka gurigaagu aanu ahayn mid adag in la helo iyada oo la adeegsanayo shabakadaha xidhiidhka bulshada, qof kastaa wuu u safri karaa gurigaaga marka aanad halkaas joogin (marka aad meel kale joogto).

Wax badan iga baro

Markaad abuurto astaantaada Facebook , waxaad hubisaa inaad gasho goob kasta oo ay bixiyaan. Sidoo kale ma bixisaa nambarada telefoonkaaga iyo ciwaannada iimaylka? Hadday haa tahay, yay u muuqdaan? Haddii aad uga tagto inay dadka oo dhan u muuqdaan, maxay noqon kartaa cawaaqibka? Ma adka in la qiyaaso.

In yar oo dheeraad ah oo la sii galo wakhtigaaga Facebook ayaa dadka kale u sheegi doonta nooca qofka aad tahay - waxa aad jeceshahay iyo waxa aad neceb tahay, caadooyinkaaga iyo hiwaayadahaaga, waxa aad qabato maalintii (ama habeenka) iyo in ka badan. Waqti kasta oo Facebook ah waa sheeko ku saabsan qof. Inta badan oo aad qoddo Jadwalka^(Timeline) , waa in badan oo xaqiiqooyin ah oo aad ka hesho iyaga.

Qaado nacnackan

Waxaa jiray website TakeThisLollipop.com kaas oo ku salaysan astaantaada Facebook . In kasta oo ay si fiican u shaqaynaysay ilaa wakhti dhow, hadda way dartay. Waxay samayn jirtay filim cabsi leh oo ku salaysan xogta aad kaga tagtay wakhtigaaga Facebook . Marka aad gasho website-ka adigoo isticmaalaya aqoonsiga Facebook^{(Facebook ID)} , waxay muujisay qof baranaya profile kaaga. Jilaagu waa mid argagax leh, iftiiminta filimkuna waa mid ka mid ah sheekooyinkaas naxdinta leh. Waxay ku tusinaysaa sida uu qofka xun u akhriyo wakhtigaaga oo uu ^(place)kuugu raaco goobtaada^{(villain keeps on reading your timeline and follows you to your)} .

Fadlan I Dhac

Kani waa degel kale oo xiiso leh oo soo bandhigaya dhibaatooyinka la wadaago Facebook -ga . Waxay adeegsatay xogta Twitter iyo Foursquare si ay u muujiso dhammaan guryaha iyo meelaha bannaan oo la dhici karo. Waxay ahayd nooc u adeegtay meel hal meel joogsi ah tuugtu si ay u ogaadaan meelaha ay weerari karaan.

Cabasho weyn ayaa ka dhalatay shabakadan oo shaqaynaysa ka dib, maamulka ayaa meesha ka saaray shaqadiisa. Pleaserobme.com wali waa jirtaa laakiin ma muujinayso meelo nugul. Taa beddelkeeda, waxay ku xidhaysaa faallooyinka pleaserobme.com^{(reviews of pleaserobme.com)} oo dadka u sheega sida ay khatarta u tahay in qof walba lala wadaago.

Ka dib cadhadii ka dib, Foursquare waxay joojisay gelitaanka xogta isticmaalaha APIs.^{(Following the outrage back then, Foursquare stopped access to user data using APIs.)}

Tani waa tallaabo wanaagsan waxayna yaraynaysaa fursadaha dadka isticmaala la xado, laakiin weli, waa inaad ka taxadirtaa - gaar ahaan markaad dooranayso cidda dhammaan arki karta meesha aad joogto. Uma arko wax caqli-gal ah in dadka guud ahaan loo ogolaado inay eegaan halka aad joogto - iyo meesha aadan joogin - maadaama laga yaabo in lagugu daba-galo amaba ka sii daran, laga yaabo in lagu dhaco^{(you may be stalked or worse still, you may be robbed)} .

Fur Xaalka Raadinta

Kani waa degel kale oo xiiso leh oo aan helay oo la xidhiidha dhibaatooyinka wadaagga badan. Open Status Search waxa ay kuu ogolaataa in aad raadiso xaalada dadka adiga oo aan xitaa galin xisaabtaada Facebook . Waxaad si qarsoodi ah u ogaan kartaa waxay dadku dhahayaan iyo waxay samaynayaan ka dibna ' qaado go'aankaaga'^{(make your decision’)} taas oo ku saleysan taas.

Tusaale ahaan, waxaad samayn kartaa raadinta si aad u aragto kuwa ku sakhraansan gudaha deegaankaaga. Waxa kaliya ee aad u baahan tahay waa isku-dar wanaagsan oo ereyo fure ah, oo waxaad hoos u dhigi kartaa raadinta dhowr baloog oo agagaarkaaga ah.

Miyayna ahayn mareeg fiican inaad ka ogaato deriskaaga?^{(Isn’t it a cool website to know about your neighbors?)}

Hel Gabdho Agtaada

Kani wuxuu ahaa codsi ku salaysan Foursquare . Markaad gasho app-ka oo aad gasho meesha aad joogto, waxay baadhay Foursquare ' Check-ins' si ay kuugu sheegto meesha habluhu ku yaaliin meeshaada. Adigoo isticmaalaya qaabka khariidaynta, waxaad heli kartaa dariiqa ugu gaaban mid ka mid ah. Mar labaad, tan ayaa hoos loo dhigay qaylo dhaan awgeed, gaar ahaan kooxaha haweenka oo u malaynayay in app-ku uu dumarka u soo bandhigayo khataro. Daacadnimo, ma u malaynaysaa in dadku ay weli khatar ku jiri karaan app-kaas la'aantiis - iyadoo loo eegayo in dad badani isticmaalaan Foursquare?^{(Honestly, don’t you think people can still be in danger without that app – given that so many people use Foursquare?)}

Waanu ognahay waxaad samaynayso

Waxaa jira bogag iyo apps kale oo badan oo si wanaagsan u isticmaala xogta aad la wadaagto shabakadaha warbaahinta bulshada. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad xiisaynayso inaad booqato Waanu ognahay waxaad samaynayso^{(We Know What You Are Doing)} . Mareegtan waxay u malaynaysaa inaad joojiso wadaagga xad-dhaafka ah ee warbaahinta bulshada haddii aad ka welwelsan tahay sirta internetka. Bilaabay tijaabo bulsho oo uu sameeyay Callum Haywood , degelkani waxa uu dib u soo saaraa qoraallada xaaladda guud ee kumanaan isticmaaleyaasha Facebook ah kuwaas oo dhawaan soo dhejiyay daroogooyinka, nacaybka madaxdooda, hungoowga iyo lambarka taleefanka cusub!

In an interview to CNN, Callum Haywood says, “I created the website to make people aware of the issues that it creates when they post such information on Facebook without any privacy settings enabled. The people featured on the site are most likely not aware that what they post as ‘public’ can be seen by absolutely anybody, and that Facebook will happily give away this information to other websites via its Graph API.”

Tijaabada bulsheed ee xiisaha lihi waxay daaha ka saartaa garka hubka habdhaqanka isticmaalaha caadiga ah waxayna hoosta ka xariiqday taxadarla'aantiisa/keeda marka uu la tacaalayo macluumaadka gaarka ah. U gudub website-^(website) ka We Og waxa aad sameyneyso si aad u hubiso!

Si kooban:

• Haddii aad haysato aaladaha IoT, u wareeji shabakad gaar ah.
• U isticmaal^(Use) sirta isgaarsiinta xasaasiga ah.

Facebook wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad la wadaagto qoraallada dadka qaar kaliya haddii aad rabto. Waxaad adkayn kartaa goobaha ammaanka ee Facebook . Waxa kale oo laga yaabaa inaad xiisaynayso Talooyin lagu Ilaaliyo Sirnimadaada Twitterka^{(Tips To Protect Your Privacy On Twitter)} .

Dangers and Consequences of Oversharing On Social Media

Do you like inviting trouble? Thоυgh nobody doеs, they do invite trouble. They do it unintentionally – and that is through over-sharing on social media sites. This article focuses on the problems of over-sharing on social medіa sitеs like Facebook, Foursqυare, and Twitter. It also talks about somе special websites and apрs that were designed to increase awareness abоut inviting troubles through social media рosts.

The websites we are talking about in this article are highly addictive – Facebook and Twitter – so much that they are being considered as the new opium of the masses! They provide a way to share things related to your life, while also providing a method to vent out your emotions.

Foursquare pioneered this and once allowed you to ‘check-in’ at different places so that your friends know where you are. Owing to the ease of use, people share whatever comes to their minds. You got invited to dinner at your friend’s. You compose a tweet and send it to Twitter. You go to your friend’s place and ‘check-in’ using Foursquare to tell others where you are.

Oversharing On Social Media

But how safe are you when using these websites? What happens when you create a profile on Facebook and post things on it? What happens when you upload the image of your brand new car parked in front of your house? What can happen when you ‘check-in’ on Foursquare when at a friend’s place? There are things you should be not sharing on social sites! Let us talk about the possible problems of sharing things with just anyone.

Where Am I? Come Get Me!

You can upload images to both Facebook and Twitter. When you click a picture, it records metadata that includes your geographic position in terms of latitude and longitude. While Facebook and Twitter have that feature to remove any metadata associated with images, they do it only when you are using their web interface. Most of us tend to click using the cellphone and update our status using the same. Both Facebook and Twitter fail to remove meta-data while dealing with third-party applications for uploading and sharing photographs.

If anyone wants to know the details about your whereabouts when clicking a picture, she or he can simply download the image and run it through some software like ExifTool that is designed to extract metadata from images. When used with Google Maps or Google Street View, these co-ordinates give away the street map of the place where the image was taken. Imagine you upload your house’s image. The person doing the investigation can trace you easily as he or she gets the complete map to your place. Isn’t that scary?

Come Stalk Me

While researching about the problems of over-sharing, I came across a case where a woman was using Foursquare to ‘check into’ every place she went. Strangely (or not), one of her friends always appeared at the same place within minutes of sending out the location. In other words, she was being stalked by someone based on her ‘check-ins’ on Foursquare. She later contacted 911 to get rid of the person as she could not discontinue using Foursquare. The lesson learned from this case is twofold:

1. Don’t invite people to stalk you
2. Be very careful when making friends on social networking sites – not all are simple people busy with their own lives.

Talking about Foursquare, matters become worse when one of your friends drops by at your home and ‘checks into’ Foursquare. Your home address is instantly visible to everyone related to that friend. Your friend may regularly visit your place and keep ‘checking into’ Foursquare while at the same time, making your house address famous on the Internet. It is up to you how you deal with such people.

Also, when you say that you are somewhere, you also send out the signal that you are not somewhere else. If you say you are at some coffee shop, you are also saying you are not home. Given that your house address is not tough to find using social networking sites, anyone can make a trip to your house when you are not there (when you are somewhere else).

Learn More About Me

When you create your Facebook profile, you make sure you enter every field they provide. Do you also provide your phone numbers and email addresses? If yes, who are they visible to? If you leave them to be visible to everyone, what could be the consequences? It is not hard to imagine.

A little more digging into your Facebook timeline will tell others what kind of person you are – your likes and dislikes, your habits and hobbies, what you do during the day (or night) and more. Each Facebook timeline is a story about a person. The more you dig into the Timeline, the more facts you find about them.

Take This Lollipop

There was a website TakeThisLollipop.com that was based on your Facebook profile. Though it was working just fine till very recently, it is now defunct. It used to create a horror movie based on the data you left on your Facebook timeline. When you log into the website using your Facebook ID, it showed a person studying your profile. The character is horrifying, and the lighting of the movie is one of those haunted stories. It shows how the villain keeps on reading your timeline and follows you to your place.

Please Rob Me

This is another interesting website that showcases the problems of over-sharing on Facebook. It used data from Twitter and Foursquare to show what all houses and places are vacant and can be robbed. It kind of served a one-stop place for robbers to find out the places they can attack.

There was a huge outcry over this website functioning following which, the admins removed its functionality. Pleaserobme.com still exists but does not show vulnerable places anymore. Instead, it links to reviews of pleaserobme.com that tell people how dangerous it is to share everything with everyone.

Following the outrage back then, Foursquare stopped access to user data using APIs.

This is a good move and reduces the chances of users being robbed, but still, you should be careful – especially when choosing who all can see where you are. I don’t see any logic in letting people in general to view where you are – and where you are not – as you may be stalked or worse still, you may be robbed.

Open Status Search

This is another interesting website I found related to problems of over-sharing. Open Status Search allows you to search for status updates of people without even having to log into your Facebook account. You can anonymously find out what people are saying and doing and then ‘make your decision’ based on that.

For example, you can run a search to see who all are drunk within your locality. All you need is a good combination of keywords, and you can narrow down the search to a few blocks around your place.

Isn’t it a cool website to know about your neighbors?

Find Girls Near You

This was an application based on Foursquare. When you logged into the app and entered the place you are, it searched Foursquare ‘check-ins’ to tell you about the location of girls around your place. Using the mapping feature, you can find the shortest route to one of them. Again, this was taken down due to an outcry, especially from women groups who thought the app was exposing women to dangers. Honestly, don’t you think people can still be in danger without that app – given that so many people use Foursquare?

We know what you are doing

There are many more websites and apps that make good usage of data you share over the social media networks. You may be interested in visiting We Know What You Are Doing. This website thinks you should stop oversharing on social media if you are concerned about internet privacy. Started as a social experiment by Callum Haywood, this website reproduces public status posts of thousands of Facebook users who have recently posted about drugs, hating their boss, being hungover and about their new phone number!

In an interview to CNN, Callum Haywood says, “I created the website to make people aware of the issues that it creates when they post such information on Facebook without any privacy settings enabled. The people featured on the site are most likely not aware that what they post as ‘public’ can be seen by absolutely anybody, and that Facebook will happily give away this information to other websites via its Graph API.”

This interesting social experiment unmasks the chinks in a common user’s attitude armor and underlines his/her carelessness while dealing with private personal information. Head over to the We Know What You Are Doing website to check it out!

In a nutshell:

• Be careful of what you share on your social accounts online.
• Use privacy screens on your devices when traveling or in public.
• Never give anyone your password to anyone. Always use a password manager.
• If you have IoT devices installed, shift them to a unique network.
• Use encryption for sensitive communications.

Facebook allows you to share posts only with certain people if you want. You can harden your Facebook security settings. You may also be interested in Tips To Protect Your Privacy On Twitter. One should also be careful and check if you are sharing posts from Fake News websites.

The bottom line is that social media sites provide many features to protect your privacy. You need to follow some online safety tips, be careful and use those features to protect yourself from possible problems of over-sharing.

What do you think? Do you agree with my views or do you think I am paranoid!?
