To minimize costly mistakes in social media venues, which action should be avoided?

• A. The posting of personal pages or walls
• B. Liking, sharing or commenting on posts
• C. Posting professional content regularly
• D. Using privacy settings

Answer: (A)

Maintaining boundaries between personal and professional content on social media to avoid misinterpretation and privacy risks. Posting personal pages or walls means sharing private or non-work-related information in spaces where colleagues, clients, or employers may see it. That exposure can lead to misunderstandings, unintended reputational damage, or policy violations if sensitive details slip out or are taken out of context. By avoiding this, you limit the chance that something personal becomes a problem in a professional setting. Using privacy settings helps control who can view your content, which is protective. Posting professional content regularly supports credibility, and engaging with posts can be appropriate when done thoughtfully.
