Creating a positive Digital Footprint

I know my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences including having my data or websites I’ve been on tracked or leaked, So I adjust my actions to not saying provocative or insensitive things online. I can also be positive to others online or just not start any issues online.

Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include keeping track of all of the websites I go to, make sure I use safe networks online, and also Use a VPN to secure and protect my Online data.

I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as the type of videos I’ve watched over the years, other people, and just exploring online influenced my choices of my likes and dislikes. It also helped shape who I am today as a person. My personality would be completely different if I looked at other videos and different content online.
