These three aspects are important to know when it comes to writing online in a digital space. Two major aspects of exercising more control over the information you share online: 1) gaining knowledge about a technology or platform’s data gathering practices, and 2) using this information to exert the most amount of control over your personal information possible in your writing practices.
