I. APPLICATION

1. If you open your FB account, do you keep your identity public or private? Why?
 If I open my fb account I keep my identity public, its because my fb account is for educational purposes
only and I make sure that my friends there are the people whom I personally know for me to get an
update to them and to get information that I needed to clarify. I also want to be safe especially now a
days that scammers are all over that world and we should not trust people whom we don’t know, for us
to feel at ease every time we open facebook. During this new normal education, we do our class
through online so teachers required that every students should be have a facebook account and it
contains our whole true name for easy access if ever there’s a problem, also I really need to have an
access to my classmates to ask some questions if ever I have problems about my academic.

2. What would be the possible “benefits” and “risks” if your online profile is made public?
- There’s a lot of benefits yet there are also risk if we made our online profile public. For the benefits:
