What is the best way to keep sensitive data private when using social networking?

Post only about non-sensitive topics
Use privacy settings to limit visibility
If it's highly sensitive or private, simply don't post it
Share with trusted friends only

The correct answer is: If it's highly sensitive or private, simply don't post it

The optimal approach to keeping sensitive data private on social networking platforms is to refrain from posting it at all, especially if it is highly sensitive or private. By choosing not to share this information, you eliminate the risk of it being accessed or misused by unauthorized individuals or entities. While using privacy settings can indeed enhance the control over who sees your posts, these settings can sometimes be complex and may not guarantee complete protection against data breaches or misuse. Additionally, sharing sensitive information even with trusted friends opens the door to potential leaks if those friends do not safeguard the data properly. Posting about non-sensitive topics can be a safer practice, but it does not address the risk associated with sensitive information that might inadvertently get shared. Overall, the safest method is always to avoid sharing highly sensitive or private data on social networking platforms.
