Digital Matters

Privacy and Security month

The Digital Matters group has been looking at privacy and security issues this past month with a particular consideration of the settings that you might consider adopting for the Meta apps (Facebook and Instagram) in particular, as well as Amazon and Google.

At the top of the agenda is the adoption of Passkeys, which you should do if you’re offered them when signing-up, or logging-in, to an app or service. The presentations and the guide that was provided to accompany the sessions can be found here …

You might (if you’re short of time) find this short guide of some use as well …

Watch out for a future drop-in session where Digital Matters group members will be present to help and assist any Cardiff U3A member with setting up their devices.

General Interest

Facebook

Social Media can be a bit like Marmite – you either love it or you don’t.  When used nicely it can have many uses.  It can be informative and help spread the news. 

Cardiffu3a has a Facebook page.  The easiest way to find it is either via this link or by going to the top right of the Cardiffu3a homepage and clicking on the Facebook icon.

For those of you who are active Facebook users could we encourage you to give us a ‘Like’ and a ‘follow’.  You may become aware of a new Interest Group you may like to join. 

We often get asked about the best way to advertise Cardiffu3a and bring in new members.  There’s no doubting that word-of-mouth is probably the surest method of achieving that.   

Sharing the occasional Cardiffu3a Facebook post with your friends can also help spread the word. It’s fairly effortless and you never know where it may lead.  Thanks for your consideration.  

This is where to find the Facebook link on our Homepage.
