Social Media Risk Management for Public Figures
Why Social Media Risks Matter to Public Figures
If you’re a big celebrity, a key opinion leader, a politician… you know who you are. Are you worried about someone speaking on your behalf without your authority?
Well, with the ease of hacking social media profiles and creating social media accounts without controls, this is a key risk that you need to mitigate.
Why should you care about managing social media risks
Avoid public miscommunication
Your voice and opinion matters to your followers. Don’t send the wrong message irresponsibly.
Don’t fall prey to hackers
Your social media profile is a favourite target of hackers, and can undo years of hard work in reputation building when they blackmail you for it.
Protect your reputation and fight impersonation
Scammers love to impersonate public profiles to scam your followers.
Be aware of the risks and takedown such accounts quickly.
