EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Mary Harrington, Why You Shouldn’t Share Your Private Life Online - Mary Harrington (4K) explores Digital Modesty, Intimacy, and Modern Relationships in an Online Age Mary Harrington and Chris Williamson explore “digital modesty” – the practice of setting firm boundaries around what aspects of one’s private life are shared online – and argue that oversharing erodes intimacy, fuels audience capture, and invites unnecessary harm. Harrington outlines her personal rules (no selfies, no family/home content, no mining relationships for content) and connects them to a broader critique of transparency culture, influencer dynamics, and terminally-online dating norms.
