Creative access contexts involve different levels of social media engagement, some may even require the removal of a social media presence altogether for the duration of an assignment. Below are some tools and tips if you have security concerns.
Social Media Platform | Recommended actions for medium risk contexts | Recommended actions for High risk contexts |
Facebook | Clean up your "likes" and "about me" section People don’t have to find you by looking for a missionary but can find you based on what you "like." Search for [Your First and Last name] + Missionary/Missionaries Search for [Your First and Last name] + Africa Inland Mission. Search for anything else that may connect you to missions. Message friends, families, churches, other social media accounts to remove content that you are featured in (Photos, videos, posts, etc.) If you are simply tagged in a general status with no photo, either remove yourself from the tag or have them remove you from it.
