Sept 3, 2013

More than one in four young social media users regret posting something that could be detrimental in the future, according to a study by FindLaw.com.

The survey found that 29 percent of Facebook and other social media users between 18-34 years old are concerned that something they posted could hurt them if seen by a prospective or current employer.

Twenty-one percent of those surveyed said they have removed a post or photo because of potential repercussions.

Most of the people surveyed said they pay some attention to security settings on their accounts; only 6 percent of those surveyed said they simply used the default settings.
