### Explanation Account status features across digital platforms often reveal personal information about users. This information can include: - Real-time activity information includes details such as the **current gaming status** (e.g., "Playing Fortnite" on Discord), online/offline indicators, location check-ins, and listening activity (e.g., Spotify integration). - Professional information can be revealed through **workplace identifiers** like company logos or emojis, job status (e.g., "Open to Work" on LinkedIn), and professional availability indicators such as "In a meeting" or "Out of Office". - Personal status updates often include **mood indicators**, custom status messages, holiday or vacation notices, and life events and celebrations. - This information, while seemingly minor, can provide valuable insights into daily routines and patterns, professional affiliations, personal interests and activities, and social connections and relationships. ### Examples {{some links to articles, videos, etc}} ### Types - behavioural ### See also - [[SOWEL-21.
