We still can’t resist the pull of connectedness. The thrill of posting. The dopamine hit of likes, comments, and shares. That little red notification bubble can override our one primal instinct, to stay safe.

And here’s the kicker most of the threats you’ve read about here don’t require hacking at all. They don’t need code, exploits, or malware. They feed entirely on what you willingly post, what you assume is private, and what you never think to question.

Social media isn’t just social anymore. It’s a surveillance goldmine for advertisers and governments, a scam factory for criminals, a reputation minefield for you, and a behavioural laboratory where every click, pause, and scroll is data.

The truth is uncomfortable but so is finding out too late. Awareness is your first line of defence. Stay curious. Stay sceptical. And above all, keep learning.
