Painful, ugly and there FOREVER: your negative online posts are like a bad tattoo, says tech expert
You may think that deleting a dodgy tweet is enough to purge it from the internet - but that isn't the case
EVERY nasty social media post you make is like a bad tattoo: it's ugly, painful and almost impossible to remove.
And even if you do manage to laser your obscene tweets into oblivion, it can leave an online scar which will never really heal.
That's according to Raj Samani, fellow and Chief Scientist at the online security company.
The cyber guru spoke to the Sun Online in the wake of Jack Maynard's sensational axing from I'm A Celebrity over a series of vile tweets.
And he warned that anyone's negative online posts could end up coming back to haunt them: celeb or not.
Raj said: "Your online content - tweets, Facebook posts and anything like that - is a digital tattoo.
Essentially, the trick to social media is to do what Jack Maynard didn't: think before you post.
Raj said before hitting send you should always ask yourself: "If this got out to the entire world, is that something I would feel comfortable with?
"Whether it's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat, that is the fundamental advice."
