Social media connects you to friends and family, but it also exposes your personal information and puts you in contact with people you may want to avoid. Learning how to control who sees your posts, who can contact you, and what data you share protects your privacy and keeps unwanted interactions from happening in the first place. These tools work differently on each platform, and knowing how to use them means you stay in charge of your own experience.
The articles here explain how to block or mute specific people, adjust privacy settings so only trusted contacts see your information, recognize common scams and harassment, and report content that violates platform rules. You'll learn what happens when you block someone, how to limit who finds your profile, and what steps to take if you encounter threatening or inappropriate behavior.
