meet Jessica

she keeps in touch with most of her friends online…

… her friends know what she is doing 24/7 wherever they are through Facebook Flickr Twitter

but in doing so she leaves an online data trail for anyone to see …… what she looks like who she’s friends with where she’s going to be tonight where she studies where she lives what she’s doing right now

and the web makes it so easy to aggregate personal information

.. ask Jessica if she’s worried about the amount of information people can find about her online and she says …..

… there are millions of others sharing far more information online than me …. … you can’t expect me not to use these sites, it’s how I stay in touch ….

The whole point of these sites is to share information about yourself…..

Who uses these sites to gather information?
Police
Investigators
Recruitment agencies
Marketing companies
Extremist groups
& others ….
