What might companies or members of the public infer about members of your group based on what is publicly visible on their Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, or other social media accounts? Consider not only what might be inferred from content you have posted, but also what might be inferred from facts about which friends you have, whom you have followed and who has followed you, which posts you have liked, and so forth. Are you comfortable with the amount of information about you that could be inferred based on your social media activity? Why or why not? You do not need to reveal any personal information that makes you feel uncomfortable to answer this question. If no members of your group have any social media accounts, answer this question by choosing a public Twitter or Instagram account and considering what you can infer about its owner.

The inference from the content I post on social media may fall under the following categories. (i) my personal interests in life (ii) what type of people I am networking with (iii) How do I react to the happenings in the society (iv) my habits

Letting the companies or members of public to get this inference has both positive and negative impact.

On the positive side, (i) The propspective employers can understand about my interests and preferences in my current job
and thus my suitability for their organization is validated in less time. (ii) Based on the inference there is a possibility that I may get some surprising helping hands when I am facing any issues in my life

On the negative side, (i) People may brand me in a negative manner (ii) These inferences may help criminals to exploit my weakness (iii) Based on these inferences people may spread rumors about me and may create issues in my personal or professional life.

Personally I am not comfortable with the amount of information about me that could be inferred based on my social media activity. It is mainly due to the reason that most of my activities like liking a post, commenting about a post, etc. are spontaneos activities and at some time due to peer pressures (mob mentality).
