Here is how the YouTube channel Naomi Brockwell describes this video:
Seeing as we do a huge amount of our communicating via messaging services these days, it’s important to know what information we are giving out, and to whom.

The Daily Post had a Daily Prompt today called Privacy, and this is what it said:
Privacy
Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt.
Not sure how to participate?
And this is my response:
I would like to mostly focus on computer and online privacy with today’s prompt, and I will start with some simple online/computer privacy and security tips by Microsoft called Protect Your Privacy On The Internet:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/safety/online-privacy/prevent.aspx
I recommend following those tips from Microsoft in the link above, keeping your software/apps updated (up-to-date), using an ad blocker/general purpose blocker browser extension like UBlock Origin (uBlock Origin), using a free version of an on-demand backup anti-malware scanner like Zemana AntiMalware Free as another layer of protection to manually scan files/drives/devices before you use or open them and scan your computer/devices at least once a week, and use skepticism and common sense to help you protect your privacy and yourself and your computer/devices et cetera.
The end,
