Social networking safety tips
The cyber-safety group Teenangels advises:
1 Keep your passwords private. You're entitled to privacy,
and password abuse is at the root of much cyber mischief.
2 Hit "delete" instead of "forward." Break the cycle of sexting and harassment.
3 Think twice. Before you post that picture or send that message, think about the consequences it might have - today, next week or years from now.
4 Report abuse on Facebook if you see or are a victim
of abusive behavior. Look for "Report" links throughout the site, such as the "Report This Photo" link underneath photos and the "Report" links in inbox messages from people who aren't confirmed friends.
5 Check out MTV's survey on digital abuse at
athinline.org.
Also, do not answer offensive questions on Formspring.me. Delete before answering,
block repeat offenders.
