My Digital Footprint

My name is Mackenzie Ellis-Phillips however for most everything, I use the name Mackenzie Phillips or sometimes Mackenzie Ellis. This includes my social media accounts like Instagram and Snapchat. On Instagram, when you search for “Mackenzie Phillips” almost sixty accounts come up. The first being the famous actress Mackenzie Phillips. On my account, I have posted four pictures. Two of me and two of my pets. From looking at my account you can see I have at least one dog and one cat. In the “tagged” tab, there are nine other posts in which I am tagged but I only actually appear in five. I also have “ccs 9” in my bio meaning I go to Centennial Secondary and I’m in grade 9. If you look at my following tab it shows I mostly follow my friends, cat accounts or celebs. In order to have control over my identity online I only share photos I am comfortable with anybody seeing, I don’t let anyone post a picture of me without my permission and I rarely comment on posts except those of my friends. I looked up both my emails and my phone number and only Spokeo was able to find my email and an old connected picture to it. It didn’t have my name or address or anything like that. I think I do pretty good job at being careful online as I have shown here.

In the future, I don’t think my online presence will affect my post-secondary or job applications. I don’t have any posts of me partying or doing anything illegal or even weird. I think if I continue to be safe and responsible online, I will be fine in the future. My friends and family will not be affected by my online presence either. I don’t have any picture of us together and I don’t follow my parents. My stepmom has a picture of us together, but it doesn’t say we are related.  I don’t have any permentant posts about my friends however I sometimes post on my story that disappears after 24 hours.
