Social Networking Common Sense
These ways of socializing and communicating can be fulfilling, and yet, they come with certain risks:
• INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT– The online world can feel anonymous. People sometimes
forget that they are still accountable for their actions.• INAPPROPRIATE CONTACT
– Some people online have bad intentions, including bullies, predators, hackers, and scammers.
• INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT– You could find pornography, violence, or hate speech
online.
Be aware of these risks and be aware of how you communicate —online and off — engage in conduct that you can be proud of.
