Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety
There are many reasons for online safety, one of the big reasons is because of stalkers. These days just about anybody can find anything they want about somebody. You could even find out there bed time if you wanted to. That's not all though they could find out where you live and stalk you nonstop and finally when you accidentally throw away a paper you shouldn't have, like something with your social security number, boom identity theft.
You can do many things to protect yourself though, most people don't take the time to even though it only takes 5 extra seconds. On twitter Instagram and many other social media websites you can make your account private so only people of your choice can follow you. This can make it much harder for people to find information on you and they might even give up and move on.
My sisters once had a problem with online safety because they didn't have their Facebook accounts on private so anybody could look at it. They ended up getting stalked by some random guy out there and my mom eventually called the police. Luckily nothing has happened since but that is why you should never share personal information on social media web sites.
