Here are some important tips. None


of them can guarantee 100% Internet
security, but all of them will help you to
be safer online.

RULE 1: Share with care!


Not everyone will like what you write on
Facebook or Twitter. Think before you
post something. You can never completely
control who sees your profile, your texts,
your pictures, or your videos. Before clicking
‘post’, everyone should ask themselves two
questions: 'How will I feel if my family or
teachers see this?’ and ‘How might this post
be bad for me in three, five or ten years from
Think before you act online now?’
