Social Media is part of our daily lives in the 21^st century. It has lots of good impacts like increased connectivity and inclusivity. However, there are some major setbacks in using Social Media. For instance, personal information and photos get compromised especially if you do not maximize the privacy settings available. When people get hold of your information and pictures and attempt to black mail you, it is important to relax and not further taunt the aggressor. Giving into his demands will aggravate the situation. Seeking help from authorities can help trace the perpetuator. Do not get scared of afraid that this person might release sensitive information or pictures. Alerting your bank immediately to freeze your cards, and your social media friends regarding the situation will help lessen the damage. The person who tries to black mail you into giving into their demands does not get to define who you are as a person. When they release sensitive pictures, it is best to seek help from therapists to help you cope with the stress, as well as talking to authorities can help punish those who have done you wrong online.
