Answer 1

The following statements about digital footprints are true:

• Your digital footprint is permanent.
• Your actions online contribute to your digital footprint.

The other statements are not true:

• You are in full control of who sees your digital footprint. (This statement is misleading because, while you can control some aspects, many aspects of your digital footprint can be influenced by others or by the platforms you use.)

• What other people post does not impact your digital footprint. (This statement is false because your digital footprint can be affected by others' posts about you.)
