The Begining of internet privacy
Hello little ones.
I'm here to teach you all about Internet privacy. As you may or may not know, there are a lot of creepy people on the internet, and many of those people can be very harmful.
There are alot of them who try to steal your identity, your Facebook or Myspace page, try to impersonate you. There are a lot of people who try to hack you, and who try to steal very important information. These people can be your friends, pedophiles, rapist or even the government. These people are dangerous and can try to harm you....well, maybe not your friends, they'll just try to change your status or send dumb messages to random people, but you know what I mean.
There are several ways to protect oneself from Internet. Here are some steps.
1 - LIE! If you put your information in a website that you know you won’t use much, or that it isn’t necessary, you can lie about your information.
2 - FILL UP ONLY THE REQUIRED FIELDS. In unimportant web sites, there is no need to fill up unnecessary fields. Usually, its just your name, last name, birthday and email. Use your name, and for your birthday, change it up. So, instead of April 7, you can use April 8.
3 - AVOID CREDIT CARDS If there are sites that don’t need credit cards, don’t put it in. If you do need it, use a one shot credit card, or a prepaid one, so that your information isn’t taken by the company or other people.
4 - INFORM OTHERS. If you can, try your best to inform others of not using their personal information. Inform your cousins, parents, friends, cats, dogs, turtles, EVERYONE!
