Thinkuknow website Pros and Cons
Pros
It has a lot of information that it would be hard to find elsewhere from a reputable and reliable source.
Lots of clear, bulleted tips that are easy to see and read..
Clear, dedicated pages focussed on specific groups, such as gamers, LGBT+ groups etc.
Cons
Seems mainly centred around relationships and sex online, instead of other equally important issues.
Has a limited focus in the tips for online gaming section. It only tells you about Xbox and Playstation when the PC market is dominating the industry. Developers are making half the amount of games for console compared to PC.
Limited focus on LGBT+ issues online for many pages.
