Checked Your Online Privacy Settings Recently?
Social networking sites regularly update their terms and conditions of use and LinkedIn would appear to be a latest case in point. The changes to their privacy settings include new settings where the default means that profile information, names and photos may be used in third party advertising if you leave it unchanged. This has the resultant potential for unwanted spam emails. Institutions and staff with a social network profile are reminded to regularly check their own settings for such updates to ensure that the benefits of using social networking tools remain as expected.
