Social Media and Privacy is a hot topic. Our women-only event on 27 May 2011 discussed the paradigm shift in how we communicate and the impact it has on our personal privacy. Women, in particular, need to be aware of how the information flows and is distributed in social networks. Our gender posts and shares more personal information than men do. Unfortunately, women and children are also more likely to experience privacy breaches.

As the speaker at the event, I was asked to make the slides available so both the attendees and people unable to attend could have access to the content. I gladly share that information here:
