Dad's Log - A Glimpse Into The Mind Of A Broadcaster

Faye_Vrit wanted to know about securing yourself and your family online. There are a couple different things you can do, but unfortunately it will always be a balance between putting yourself out there to grow (and giving up some privacy in exchange) versus approaching security with common sense. Some things you should never do: put your full legal name out there, personal info like social security number, full physical address, names of family members, information around where you'll be physically traveling to, etc. These are easy things to temper and can avoid making it easy for people to put you in a dangerous situation. At the same time, as you grow your community, your celebrity will naturally grow as well. Which means that the threats will grow. And at the end of the day, you need to decide how much of your personal privacy you're willing to give up in exchange for making content and creating community. That is a decision only you can make. God bless!
