Social Media Safety

Today on November 12, ACSS had a presentation on social media safety, presented by Darren Laur. The presentation was a very fun experience, even though it talked about hard topics. The presentation was about teaching kids, and teens concerning safety on the internet. Being safe on social media sites, pups, rats, cyber bulling and black hatters are just some of the topics discussed. Not sharing too much personal information, not to take pictures of car licenses are what I learnt from the presentation. But it’s not just about the hackers and the stalkers; it’s about cyber bullies as well. Cyber bullies are very persistent awful people. They feed on the fact that they can hid behind a screen. One way to keep them away is to ignore them or delete them from your social media site. If it counties a parent, principal, teacher or the white hatter are the best people to tell about your harassment. The information provided by the presentation, I found was very useful. It feels like sexual harassment, cyber bulling, hacking extra, which happens over the internet is a normal thing, but it’s not and it needs to stop.
