The relationship between cybersecurity and privacy is complex. On the one hand, cybersecurity that protects data from intrusion, theft and misuse obviously is a significant privacy safeguard. On the other hand, cybersecurity measures that monitor access and use can implicate the collection of personal information and thus raises privacy concerns.

I totally agree with the article's stand on "thoughtfully limited use" of private information. I predicted some of what is discussed here in an article I wrote about the British Information Commissioner's Office and their Privacy Impact Assessments Code, which is here:
Scoop.it!
"There should be millions of Twitter users that have signed in with Twitter into third-party applications. Some of these applications might have gained access to and might still have access to Twitter users private direct messages," he points out, and advises users to check third-party applications permissions and revoke the apps to which they never gave permission to access their DMs.

I know several teachers are still struggling to come to grips with this concept but I am hoping that by readying the guide I posted yesterday together with the one I have today, you will be able to have a clear and practical procedure of how to go about explaining digital footprint to your students. Enjoy

Gust MEES: a little rant if YOU permit! When teachers are talking about Security they mean "InternetSafety", looks like THEY didn't have yet understood THE difference ;) (Sorry...)!
Here is WHAT "Security" and "Cyber-Security" is:

Post highlighting embarrassing things raises questions of user privacy with Graph Search, which Facebook users cannot opt out of
Facebook believes its responsibility is to provide the privacy settings, while users are responsible for using them. "You control who you share your interests and likes with on Facebook," the company said Thursday in an emailed statement.
When joining Facebook, people trade their personal information for free use of the social network. Given that, security experts agree that people are responsible for controlling who sees that information.
However, some experts believe Facebook does not go far enough in educating users about the potential threats in keeping information public. Because Graph Search makes all that personal information easily searchable, education on its dangers should be a much higher priority for Facebook.
===> "Some people do not grasp the importance of Graph Search," said Bogdon Botezatu, a senior e-threat analyst for Bitdefender. "So maybe it would be better for Facebook to actually inform people that some things will change." <===
