Online activities are increasingly used to make real-world decisions.

Explanation:

These online activities become part of one's identity. Therefore these activities can give information about user's behaviors, attitudes, likes and dislikes.

All this data are being used to make real world decisions about a user or a group of users. For example, trough one's online check-ins, frequently used location of the users or can be determined. Similarly, trough social media likes or posts, one's hobbies can be predicted.

Therefore, social media and online presence in general, is not necessarily safe or private but important places which have valuable information of the users that can be used in real world.
