It is important to check the privacy setting of a new device.  It is important to check the settings because new devices may not have very secure default settings.  If the settings are not really secure, anyone can go on your profile and check your personal information  on facebook, twitter and instagram.  They can  find out your name, were you live and what school you go to.  they can also access all of your posts.  They can pretend to be you on-line and get you into trouble by saying mean things about other people or download bad games or content on your account.  That is why you should always check your privacy settings when you get a new device.
