Diana Silveira presented on privacy and reputation management on social media. She discussed the default privacy settings of major social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest and emphasized that anything shared could become publicly visible. She provided tips on reviewing and customizing privacy settings as well as monitoring one's online reputation through tools like Google Alerts. Silveira stressed the importance of being thoughtful about what information is shared online since once shared, it can be difficult to remove.

In order to use Google+, you need to have a public Google Profile
visible to the world, which at a minimum includes the name you chose
for the profile. That name will be used across Google services
and in some cases it may replace another name you’ve used
when sharing content under your Google Account. We may
display your Google Profile identity to people who have your email
address or other identifying information.
Posts and other content shared by or with you - such as photos of you
- may be visible on your profile to those with whom that content has
been shared. You can use the profile editor to see how your profile
appears to particular individuals.
