Online Privacy – how do you protect yourself? – is Tuesday, August 6th’s  #digiblogchat topic!

We all worry about our privacy, and yet we give away so much information about ourselves willingly. From shopping, searching online, and posting on social media, our private information is spread all over the place. So what’s a modern person to do? Do you eliminate all your social accounts and throw your laptop in the dumpster?

For our chat this week, we’ll try to answer a few questions, and probably come up with even more questions about privacy!
