Online
Stay Safe
Sharing
-
when you choose a profile picture for a social networking website like Facebook or Twitter, avoid photos that could give people you don't know information about where you live
check your privacy settings regularly, including on smart devices like wearables.
-
check your location settings – some sites, apps and devices let you share your location with other users. Turning off location settings can help protect your privacy
Think
-
Don't upload or share anything you wouldn't want your parents, teachers or friends seeing. Once you press send, it is no longer private. Anything you send can be shared with other people and you can't be sure who will end up seeing it.
Live streaming and apps like Snapchat can feel safer because they aren't permanent. But anything you post online can be screenshotted and recorded and if that happens it's out of your control.
Password
-
Use strong passwords that are hard for others to guess, using a mix of letters, numbers and symbols like (like £, $, &, !, etc.). Keep passwords to yourself and change them regularly.
If you can access a device remotely, changing the default password can keep it safer and make it harder for other people to access.
Chat
Be careful who you chat to
If someone you don't know adds you as a friend, ignore them and delete their request. Don't share personal information like your address or phone number with anybody you do not know.
Definition
The word netiquette is a combination of ’net’ (from internet) and ’etiquette’. It means respecting other users’ views and displaying common courtesy when posting your views to online discussion groups
Rules
Refrain from personal abuse. You may express robust disagreement with what someone says, but don't call them names or threaten them with personal violence.
Do not post copyrighted material to which you do not own the rights. Sites vary in how strict they are about this, but as well as facing the possibility of legal action by the rights holder, you may also get the site sued.
Don't type in All CAPS, it will look like you are screaming
Manners, Use please and thank you. Be respectful
Stay on topic, don't post irrelevant links, thoughts, posts or pictures
Remember that your posts are public. They can be read by your partner, your children, your parents, or your employer
