Snapchat and Telegram
No. That is a lie That there is no danger because the photo or video disappears, no It's true. It can be saved. It can circulate through the group of friends, through the class or, worse still, throughout the Internet. And that's not a joke, is it?
Teens (and not-so-teens) trust messaging apps like Telegram and Snapchat to send and receive messages, photos, and videos.Sometimes they do it with the confidence that that message, photo or video can reach the other person's mobile and disappear in a matter of seconds Lie Although it is true that these applications have that function , nothing prevents the other person from getting a copy before your disappearance.
Nothing prevents the other from making a screenshot of what appears on the mobile. It is also relatively easy nowadays to record what appears on the screen from your mobile phone, in case you want to record a video that is played. And, of course, even easier, with the help of another mobile or a camera that focuses on the mobile receiving the message. The options are multiple and within everyone's reach.
Messaging applications that are committed to ephemeral and secure content sometimes play with that false sense of protection that offers a hacker-proof system or a service of photos and videos that disappear a few seconds after being viewed Something that allows them to reach the front pages of many media outlets as the ”˜safest tools”™ to send secrets or compromised photos (sexting), but which are far from fully protecting the user Proof of this is that complaints continue to occur with cases in which private content ends up circulating through class or work group cell phones.
There are situations in which an application with the best protection anti-cybercriminals, or with the most system private and closed, cannot protect the user. Even some of the applications are only capable of warning a posteriori that the information shared by the user has been compromised , as happens with Snapchat when the interlocutor takes a screenshot of the snapsent, even though the photo or video effectively disappeared within seconds of opening.The prying eyes in public places such as the subway, the recordings from other mobile phones or access to these secret applications by other users when we forget our mobile phones can happen on a daily basis. A attack to the privacy and security of the user who cannot always protect themselves, no matter how secure the application may be.
That is why it is best to always use common sense in each situation, and Think carefully about whether the content you are going to share may put our honor, privacy, or security at risk Take a few seconds to consider different situations in which said content may become the reason for blackmail with which to extort us in some way for fear of making it public or sharing it with other people.Or even for being able to suppose a bad experience in a job interview or for being too accessible content with a simple search in Googlerelated to our person.
Messaging apps like Snapchat or Telegram are safe . Their systems are hard for hackers to get around. However, there are always formulas to find a secret content, how to take advantage of a user's mistake. So please protect your privacy and security and avoid sharing sensitive content that may be posted risk your physical or moral integrity, as well as your future employment.
