SAMPLE MODULE – Digital Security: Social Media Best Practices – Tamarin Butcher

Note: This is a sample module from a larger course on Digital Security.

In an age where our online presence speaks volumes, social media has become both a tool for connection and a potential source of risk. Many of us joined platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter long before we considered how much personal data we were giving away—or how that data could be used.

This module explores the security implications of everyday social media use, offering clear, actionable guidance for protecting your digital footprint. Building on the eye-opening revelations of Module 1—where you may have discovered just how much of your personal information is already accessible online—this lesson empowers you to take control of your privacy settings, rethink what you share, and develop habits that reduce your vulnerability to cyber threats.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned users alike, this module is a practical step toward safer, more informed social media use in both personal and professional contexts.
