Blog Post #2

Your blog post does a great job of exploring key aspects of digital identity, online behavior, and personalized learning. I especially appreciate its discussion about the separation of personal and professional digital identities—this is crucial, especially since employers are increasingly relying on social media screenings. Your example about Canadian employers using social media screening (61%) really strengthens your argument.

I also found your reflection on the digital visitor and resident concept insightful. The way you expect to move to more professional platforms like LinkedIn as your career progresses is a great example of how our digital habits evolve over time.

However, while I agree that digital privacy is more important than ever, I think it is worth exploring how vigilance and algorithmic tracking influence our online behavior beyond personal responsibility. For example, companies collect vast amounts of data, and even if we are careful with privacy settings, we still leave traces that we cannot completely control. It may be interesting to discuss how digital policies and literacy can help protect users beyond individual caution.

Overall, your post is engaging and relatable, and I appreciate the personal experiences you have incorporated—this makes these concepts feel very real and relevant!
