  • First Online:
Book cover Facebook Nation

Abstract

With the abundance of our digital footprint and exhaust data online, we must manage our personal data better. First and foremost, we need to address identify theft prevention. Even if companies are doing their best to protect our private information, hackers are hard at work to steal our valuable data online.

Awareness is an effective weapon against many forms of identity theft.

—U.S. Federal Trade Commission

As we go through our lives we create vast amounts of data. It’s more than just data. It represents our actions, interests, intentions, communications, relationships, locations, behaviors and creative and consumptive efforts.
