Those of us in the Preparedness Community should always have OPSEC (operational security) in the back of our minds. This includes when you are talking about your preps, traveling out and about and even online. In fact, many preppers believe so much in onilne OPSEC that they won’t use social media like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
I’ve always believed that the only REAL way to truly have OPSEC is to not be online at all. With the recent revelations of what the government is capable of doing in regards to online activity, this thought is even more relevant. But if you are going to be online, you should take into account some precautions, especially on Facebook.
This infographic provides some scary information and good advice when it comes to spending time on Facebook.

I have no FB Account, no Twitter Account, no Instagram Account and definitely could care less about what anyone who I went to high school or college with is up to. I definitely don’t want to be fake friends with anyone I used to work with (nor do I want to see their pictures) and if someone else I know wants to truly get in touch with me, they most likely already have my phone number. 🙂
