Stay Safe on Social Networking 


Social networking sites (e.g., Facebook®, Youtube®), are used widely but we must learn how to be safe on such sites. While these sites can increase your circle of friends, they also can increase your exposure to people with less-than-friendly intentions. Learn how to help your kids - and other family members - socialize online safely.
What can you do to protect yourself?
  • Make sure your computer is protected before visiting sites (Anti-Virus Updates).
  • Do not assume you are in a trusted environment.
  • Be cautious in how much personal information you provide.
  • Use common sense when communicating with users you DO know.
  • Use common sense when communicating with users you DON'T know.
