STAY SAFE ONLINE

Be anonymous. Avoid posting

information on your social networking
profile or blog such as your last name,
address, phone number, hometown or
where you hang out.
Post with caution. Anyone can
download content from the Internet
and pass it around at any point in
the future. Be careful when posting
photos online, and never post sexually
suggestive images.
Be honest about your age. Many Web
sites establish membership rules to
protect people. Don’t lie about your
age if you’re too young to sign up.
Protect yourself. Never agree to
meet with someone you encounter
online unless you take your parents or
another trusted adult and the meeting
is in a public place.
Think before you link. Linking to your
social networking profile could allow
strangers to follow you online and
access your personal information.
