Anita Smith, a communications professional, has drastically limited her online presence after experiencing an abusive relationship and subsequent stalking. She deleted many of her social media accounts and is cautious about what she shares, even on platforms like LinkedIn. Increased awareness of privacy issues, AI training data usage, and sophisticated scams contribute to her apprehensions. A Statista report indicates that many people are worried about how companies manage their online data, with a significant portion using VPNs for safety. Experts emphasize the importance of understanding privacy in the digital age.
"I erased my online presence as much as I possibly could, including removing the locations of some posts, and a couple of Instagram accounts."
"I deleted quite a few things off my LinkedIn too, lots of things that were location based, although a few posts do remain."
