Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
The importance of online safety is that someone else cannot steal your identity or for someone to find you. If someone steals your identity then you have to go to the police to figure out how to get it back. If you put personal information on your social networks then someone could easily figure out where you live or your phone number. I have my personal profiles on private and I make sure not to put my phone number or kik username on any of my pages. I also don't write down my passwords ANYWHERE because anyone could find it. I remember a few years ago I had my phone number on my Facebook and I kept getting calls from a weird number. I also remember writing down my password and username for a site and someone got onto it and I started getting spam messages. I learned quickly that I shouldn't do either of the above and I really haven't had any problems since those experiences.
