Internet Safety

Internet Safety is the security of people and their information when using the Internet. I think one of the most important things to remember is if you would not say it in person, do not say it online. Many people get bullied over the Internet and some even take their lives because the cyberbullying gets so bad. Another thing to remember is to never give out personal information. Even just telling someone your name and number, they can use the area code from your number to help track you down. Finally, always remember people are not always who or what they say they are online. A 53 year old man could be posing as a 14 year old boy and try to get information on little girls. Two things I could improve would be to think about every possible way a message could be taken, even if it is a joke some people may not consider it funny, take it in a serious way, and become offended. Another thing I could do is not accept people's friend requests on Facebook if I do not know them personally. Remember, you can never be TOO safe.
