The General Data Protection Regulation began on May 25, and it ushered in a whole new way that your privacy can be accessed on the internet, especially on social media. The edited version of what this means is that you will now have control of your own data.

Check out these easy ways to update your settings. And if you're like me, grab a teenager to help you with all this bombardment of technology!
