An important part of social media literacy is to raisecollege students’ awareness about online contexts and audiences, and about howinformation they post online for peers may be misinterpreted by a different, unintendedaudience.However, lack of knowledge and awareness about managing one’s online informationdoes not translate into lack of concern.
