Following the recent Facebook privacy scandal, have you changed your behaviour on Facebook? Are you conscious about how much you share and are you worried about your privacy?

I definitely am more cautious about sharing my information on the net - however the recent privacy scandal wasn't what triggered it, just made me review information I have on the internet. I deleted a lot of personal information from my Facebook a while ago (school, workplace etc.) to minimise the chance of any identity fraud/theft - especially since many "secret questions" which help protect passwords use this information - I made sure that I didn't share too much information on other sites (such as Twitter, Instagram, and even LinkedIn) - but as we move to a far more digital world with networking and jobseeking, it is hard to restrict information to a point where people believe you either have no experience, or have set up a "fake" account - we are all very skeptical of things that appear a little off.
