What information should be removed from social networks

Social networks have become an integral part of human life. With their appearance, we have the opportunity to keep in touch with loved ones at a distance, to be aware of the events of friends and colleagues. Also with their help we find useful information, news, entertainment topics, books, movies, music and much more – everything that helps brighten up leisure. But excessive openness in your thoughts and great trust in social networks can play a cruel joke.
