Can you help me understand the problem with posting pics on FB, etc? I
like all the ways we can connect with like minded people and do not want to
limit my interactions with appropriate content if there is no harm. I like
seeing pics and sharing pics. We have virus and malware programs running
on all of our devices... what are we not aware of? Where is the harm?

Do not add any photos of any sort. Google and Facebook have become among
the leaders in applying AI to photo recognition and can now programmatically
determine content, approx time & date, and location from the subject of the
photo. And that's without accessing the *easy* metadata stuff contained
within the photos binary --GPS, Caption, and Timestamp, Tagging, and
massive amounts of other data that is now being embedded in your photos.
Search
on EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ...nevermind, read here
http://www.photometadata.org/META-101-metadata-types
and here

In short, much of who you are and even where you live can be and is being
extracted from your photos without your knowledge. This type of
data-gathering is being ramped up a lot now because it circumvents Europe's
new-ish cookie-killing laws.
