Damaging Content Survey

In this survey you will be shown 20 random posts from social platforms.

For each post you have to answer the following question: if you have shared this post on a social networking site, can it be damaging to your personal life (e.g., if your significant other views the content) or work life (e.g., if your boss views the content)?

Remember to think as if you were the person who posted it.

Here are some examples of posts being damaging and non-damaging:

Thank You everyone for all the birthday wishes Non Damaging. This message is just a thank you note to everyone and the content is not damaging. Remember that some people might find it sensitive to reveal their date of birth, however in this case the individual is not concerned. Put yourself in the shoe of the post owner.

I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no! Damaging. This is tweet that is using offensive language without any swear words. Even though some may find it damaging others may not.
