Email, instant messaging and mobile phones are a great way to
keep in touch with your friends and share information. Any
personal information shared online via social networking
websites can affect your safety and even your future job
prospects. Set your profiles to private or friends only and only
accept friend requests from people you know and trust. Uploading
content to the internet means everyone can see it. Think about
the effect photos or other materials could have on your parents,
family or future employers before uploading it online. Tell your
friends to ask for your permission before uploading and/or
tagging a photo of you and do the same for them. Filming crimes
or assaults to promote them online may have legal consequences
and you may be breaking state and federal laws. You could be
charged and face heavy fines or a criminal conviction. Remember
that you may be filmed or photographed at any time. Behave
responsibly and protect your privacy. Check out the ThinkUKnow
