Our best protection is ourselve and the adulst that we trust: parents, teacher and experts. As we saw above, our attitude is the best protection. We must be digitally responsable.
When we use internet tools, we need to keep in mind our own safety and respect for others.
The law is here to protect us. Examples include:
- The Civil Protection of Honour Act
- The Data Protection Act
Here you have some guidelines to help you to publish information safely.
- Talk to your parents about your internet browsing; they can always help if youunsure about anythin. if you recibe something unusual or roport it.
- On the internet, do not ask for or give out data such as addresses, passwords, telephone numbers, the place where you study, places where you normally hang out or any other information that could identify you. Use aliases and nicknames that do not contain your date of birth or information about you.
- Do not talk to strangers. People are not always what they say they are. Be wary of anybody who wwants to know a lot of information about yoou. Remember that there are safer ways to make new friends.
Turn your webcam to a dead angle or put a stricker over it when you are not using it so that it cannot record images. Webcams can be operated remotely by malicious software. The police have been waarning us for years that the images we think come form the webcam of another personare often actually images that they have faked.
