Reflection

Through the module, I learned the significance of my digital footprint- the trail of data I leave behind online. Understanding my digital footprint involves recognizing the trail of data I generate and leave behind as I engage online. This includes my activities, posts, comments, and interactions across various platforms. By understanding the significance of this concept, I can evaluate my current digital presence objectively. This evaluation helps identify what aspects of my online activity reflect my true self and what I might require aligning with my personal or professional goals. Understanding my digital footprint also empowers me to make informed decisions about the type of content I share and the platforms I engage with, ensuring that my online presence positively represents my identity and values.

Setting clear goals for my online presence is essential for directing my digital strategy effectively. By defining specific objectives- such as expanding my network or promoting particular interests. I can establish a roadmap for my digital activities. These goals provide clarity and purpose, guiding the content I create, the platforms I prioritize, and the interactions I engage with. As outlined in (Feher,K.2021) , Clear goals enable me to measure progress and success in managing my digital presence, ensuring that my online efforts contribute meaningfully to my broader personal and professional aspirations.

Implementing privacy measures involves applying knowledge of digital privacy and security to safeguard my personal information online. This includes reviewing and adjusting privacy settings on social media platforms and other online services to control who can access my data. By enhancing my privacy settings, I can limit exposure to potential risks such as identity theft, unauthorized access, or misuse of personal information. Implementing these measures ensures that only relevant information is shared publicly, enhancing my control over my digital footprint and protecting my online identity.

Strategic engagement on social media entails purposeful interactions aimed at achieving specific objectives. These purposeful interactions and their benefits are highlighted in (Rozak,2021). It involves participating in relevant discussions, sharing valuable content, and networking with individuals who can contribute positively to my digital presence. By strategically engaging on social media, I can leverage platforms effectively to expand my network, amplify my message, and build meaningful relationships. Strategic engagement ensures that my online interactions align with my goals and contribute constructively to my overall digital strategy.

Committing to continuous learning and adaptation involves staying informed about evolving trends, tools, and best practices in the digital landscape. This proactive approach ensures that my digital strategy remains effective and relevant over time. By staying updated, I can capitalize on emerging opportunities, anticipate changes, and refine my approach to managing my digital presence. Once reviewing Articles from reputable sources like ( Wooden,J. 2023), Continuous learning fosters flexibility and innovation, enabling me to adapt my strategies in response to new developments and challenges in the digital environment.

Regularly monitoring and evaluating my digital performance allows me to assess the impact of my online activities and make data-driven decisions. This involves using analytics and gathering feedback to measure engagement, reach, and effectiveness. After reading and examining Case studies and reports from Pew Research Center I was able to understand audience behaviour across different digital channels. By analysing performance metrics, I can identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in my digital strategy. Monitoring and evaluation enable me to optimize my efforts, refine my approach, and ensure that my digital presence aligns with my objectives and resonates with my audience.

Emphasizing authenticity and transparency in my digital interactions is crucial for building trust and credibility online. This involves being genuine, honest, and ethical in my communications and engagements. By prioritizing authentically, I can foster meaningful connections and cultivate a positive reputation within my digital community. Transparency ensures openness and integrity in my online presence, reinforcing my credibility and reinforcing my control over my digital identity. (Lipsmeier,2020).

In Britain, more than half of 12- to 15-year-olds are on Instagram, according to OfCom (pdf), the country's communications regulator. So are 43% of 8- to 11-year-olds. But how many of them understand what they signed when they joined? Pretty much 0%, according to "Growing Up Digital", a report released Jan. 5 (pdf) by the UK Children's Commissioner.

"Are you sure this is necessary? There are like, 100 pages," said one 13-year-old who was asked to read Instagram's terms of service. (Actually 17 pages, with 5,000 words, but still plenty.)

For the report, Jenny Afia, a privacy law expert at Schillings, a UK-based law firm, rewrote Instagram's terms of service in child-friendly language (). Here are some of the paragraphs-the emphasis is ours:

- Officially you own any original pictures and videos you post, but we are allowed to use them, and we can let others use them as well, anywhere around the world. Other people might pay us to use them and we will not pay you for that.

- [...] we may keep, use and share your personal information with companies connected with Instagram. This information includes your name, email address, school, where you live, pictures, phone number, your likes and dislikes, where you go, who your friends are, how often you use Instagram, and any other personal information we find such as your birthday or who you are chatting with, including in private messages (DMs).

- We might send you adverts connected to your interests which we are monitoring. You cannot stop us doing this and it will not always be obvious that it is an advert.

- We can change or end Instagram, or stop you accessing Instagram at any time, for any reason and without letting you know in advance. We can also delete posts and other content randomly, without telling you, for any reason. If we do this, we will not be responsible for paying out any money and you won't have any right to complain.

- We can force you to give up your username for any reason.

- We can, but do not have to, remove, edit, block and/or monitor anything posted or any accounts that we think breaks any of these rules. We are not responsible if somebody breaks the law or breaks these rules; but if you break them, you are responsible.

"...[I]f they made it more easy then people would actually read it and think twice about the app," said another 13-year-old girl after being shown the revised policy. "One-third of internet users are children, but the internet wasn't created for children," Afia points out.

Of course, it's not just kids who struggle; according to the report, only people with postgraduate levels of education could properly understand Instagram's terms and conditions.

Afia thinks that once people become more aware of what they are giving up, they will demand better terms. But will they? Plenty of adults, after all, are signing similar terms and conditions without demanding that they be changed. Afia explains her optimism thus: "They don't know what is being done, so no one is saying can it be done differently."

So what can parents do?

The rewritten privacy policy in the report is a good starting point for parents to be able to talk to their kids about what they are signing away. Instagram created this parents' guide, produced with ConnectSafely.org, a nonprofit. A spokeswoman said the company offers parents and kids plenty of help: "We recognize in many cases, when people need help, they want it when they're using the app. That is why we go beyond our terms and guidelines to offer in-app safety and privacy help-from reporting, to industry-leading comment tools and self-help resources."

In the UK at least, Afia says, laws also exist that allow parents to find out what information companies have about their children and with whom they are sharing it. "But they don't ask," she says. "No one is asking and no one is holding them to account."

In addition, the report includes advice and links to other resources for parents. For instance, it says:

the UK Safer Internet Centre has a "guide to technology" for parents.

A project called offers a parents' guide to popular apps kids are using, and rates them on their privacy policy, among other things.

A guide from the American Pediatric Family Media Plan provides a tool for planning children's days so they get the right balance of online time and other activities.

Finally, the Children's Commissioner's report makes three policy recommendations.

The first is to create a compulsory "digital citizenship" program for kids aged 4 to 14, which would be led by older kids, and to a lesser degree, teachers. It would not focus on coding and algorithms, which are currently taught, but on how to protect your rights online and how to respect others' rights; how to disengage as well as engage online.

The class would be built around , an idea created by Beeban Kidron, a film director who said children's online safety is "too vital to leave to the government." Those rights are:

the right to remove that which you have put up;

the right to know who has access to your data and for what purposes;

the right to safety and support, or knowing where to go when things go wrong;

the right to informed and conscious use, or knowing that the internet wants to keep you on it and how to avoid that;

the right to digital literacy, understanding the use and purpose of what you are using and/or creating.

The report's second policy recommendation is to implement the UK's General Data Protection Regulation by writing terms and conditions in a way children can understand. And the third is to create a new Children's Digital Ombudsman to liaise between parents and social media companies.

In practice, how such a person would have any leverage over the likes of Facebook remains to be seen. And it's hard to imagine the incoming US government, for example, adopting such a nanny-state measure. But as the report shows, there's plenty parents themselves can do without waiting for the government or the social-media companies to change their stance.

The decisions made in developing this privacy policy were motivated by a desire for transparency, user control, and safety.I have inserted stipulations that provide consumers the opportunity to remove their own content, ensuring control over their digital footprint. Transparency is stressed by identifying who has access to user data and for what objectives, establishing confidence through informed permission. Safety and support provisions recognize the importance of user well-being and provide options for assistance in difficult situations. The emphasis on digital literacy is intended to encourage responsible online behavior and comprehension. The exclusion of unnecessarily complex terminology prioritizes succinct and accessible communication, ensuring that all users can understand it.
