As a part of our social media conversation we have led a series of half-day conversation with students, teachers and civil society members to talk about social media. Participants shared how most of them do not have any privacy settings on their personal Facebook profile, how they just accept friend requests from people they don't even know and how they prefer sitting behind a computer or a smart phone and stay up till 12 at night rather than being on a play ground.
We discussed the implications of some of these trends and how it affects the users. For example- when you allow your photo to be on a public Facebook page, you are actually giving permission for anyone on the page to download your picture and do whatever they want with it.
The conversation engaged over 70 high school youths and teachers and has resulted in increased understanding of social media and its code of ethics.
