Digital Footprint

Digital Footprint???

Simply put, a digital footprint is the amount of

content, whether it be words, photographs,

audio, or video, that is traceable back to a given individual.  

Parts of your digital footprint include photographs uploaded to sites like flickr, blog posts attributed to you on Blogger, video files you uploaded to YouTube, posts you wrote on your friends' Facebook Walls, and posts to your Facebook wall by your friends.  Content like this makes up your digital footprint.  

• A recent survey from AVG, an online security company, found that 81% of kids under the age of 2 have some kind of “digital footprint” online, usually in the form of e-mail accounts, social networking pages and photos posted on the Web. http://www.mainstreet.com/article/smart-spending/technology/baby-steps-81-infants-have-digital-footprint

28% of teens chat with people they don’t know in the offline world

43% shared their first name

24% shared their email address

18% shared a personal photo of themselves

12% shared their cell phone number

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable data from, or about, any person under the age of 13. If you are under 13 years old and wish to ask a question or use this site in any way which requires you to submit your personal information, please get your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf.

CIPA

• The protection measures must block or filter Internet access to pictures that are:

(a) obscene,

(b) child pornography, or

(c) harmful to minors (for computers that are accessed by minors)

• The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)  is a federal law enacted by Congress to address concerns about access to offensive content over the Internet on school and library computers.
