Think Before You Click
- Before you post something on the web, ask these questions to yourself: Would you
want your parents or grandparents to see it? Would you want your future boss to
see it? Once you post something on the web, you have no control of who sees your
posts. - Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online. Talk to your friends about
this serious responsibility. - Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will not be able to scan that post.
- Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan.
- If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask the one who posted it to
pull it down or report it as inappropriate.
