Online Safety and Security

The internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can be used to promote your business, gain new
friends, and stay in touch with the old ones. It is also a source of entertainment through games,
online communities, and everything in between.

The internet is one of the most dangerous places, especially if you do not know what you
are doing with it. But there is no need to worry; it is never late. Hopefully, by the end of this lesson,
you are able to consider how you go about your use of the internet.

The internet is defined as the information superhighway. This means that anyone has
access to this highway, can place information, and can grab that information. Any information,
even things that you have set privately, can be accessed one way or another. This is why social
networking sites like Facebook continue to improve their security features. The threats of
cybercrime is very real. While you may not experience the threat now, whatever information we
share today could affect our features.

Tips to Stay Safe Online

1. Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it to.

2. Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.

3. Check out the privacy policy page of a website to learn how the website handles the
information you share.

4. Know the security features of the social networking sites you use. By keeping your profile
private, search engines will not be able to scan your profile.

5. Do not share your password with anyone.

6. Avoid logging in to public network/wifi.

7. Do not talk to strangers whether online or face-to-face.

8. Never post anything about a future vacation. It is similar to posting,”Rob my house at this time”.

something on the web, you have no control of who see your posts.

SUMMARY:

Most teenagers spend their time online. It is vital to consider what information you share
because the internet is a public place. There are several ways to stay safe online and it is essential
that we know and apply them.

We are responsible of what we post online. It is also our responsibility to protect other’s
reputation. We should be mindful of what we post when others are involved.

Copyrights laws protect the authors or producers of literary works, photographs, paintings,
drawings, films, music, choreography, and sculptures from having their work used without their
permission. It is important for everyone to understand the laws to avoid being sanctioned.

When researching online, remember to narrow down your topic. Use advanced search
features. Look for a credible source and cite your references.
