A lesson to learn from

By Winston Muleba II 

 Lately social networks including facebook,twitter, Google+, etc have become platforms of humiliating and invading other peoples privacy. 

 Not so long ago,a video of alangizi doing what they do best was leaked and went viral on internet. Just recently another video of a woman who was caught committing adultery was and is still circulating on social networks and now I hear there is another video for woman people are speculating to be a worker for Zanaco and others are saying she works for Nsansa school in ndola and others are saying she is Ugandan according to conversation on facebook and other social networks. 

 Videos and pictures which are picture posted on social networks are eye openers to each and everyone of us. What am I trying to say our phones,laptops, cctv to list a few,have become gadgets to handle and watch with care.Those days of recording/tapping somebody with big gadgets are long gone Just these simple phone have reviewed terrible secrets. 

 I wish to warn and remind every one that the statements we make in public,the material we share on whatsapp ,bbm,facebook be it videos,picture or conversation are prone to leak. I certainly believe that most of the nasty conversation,videos and picture which circulated on internet are not posted or circulated by the subjects themselves but they are circulated by people closer to them. Fellows be mindful of the texts you send the receiver might use it as evidence against you in future, words you say in public,the people present might be recording you,videos and pictures you share,the recipients might share with people they trust and the people you trust might also share with other people they trust share,conversations you make via phone calls,the receiver might be recording your ka nasty or sensitive conversation and perhaps leak it and most important and above all BE MINDFUL of texts, picture,documents and videos you save in your phone or a laptops. Believe you me,its not always that you'll protect your privacy from leaking to the general public. Delete tu data twa mi one before taulalila oweb!!Prevention is better than cure. Lastly I wish to appeal to those people with evil thought and a habit of leaking other peoples privacy that tomorrow it will be them. Kalulu tachenjela imiku ibili. One they'll be humiliated as they do to their fellows. Imagine, that which you do when you are alone or when you enclosed in that room leaked. Kuti waumfwa shani?Its time we started behaving and protect other peoples privacy. And to those in relationship ngabaku dampa nangu bakukana piliz piliz let us not resort to humiliate our fellows by exposing their privacy online. The circulating and already circulated pictures and videos are a lesson to learn from. Have a blessed weekends
