How to stay safe online (Day-2)

 Yesterday, I talked overall about three main rules that users should follow to stay safe when using the internet. Today I will explain each one!

1. ZIP IT

Keep your personal information private and do not share it with strangers.

This includes being careful about what personal information you share online. Examples of personal information you should not share include your:

• location
• school name
• phone number
• real name
• photos

mailing address or email address.

You can use privacy settings on social networks to stop strangers from viewing your profile. You should also use a strong password that you change regularly and never give it to anyone, even your friends.

    2. BLOCK IT

Always block offensive messages or friend requests from strangers on social networking sites. Do not open suspicious attachments or links, and you can use safe search filters to reduce the chance of seeing age-inappropriate content.

    3. FLAG IT

You should always tell an adult if something online upsets you or if someone you don't know requests to meet you. Users can also report grooming behavior to national crime agencies.
