Top Ten Safety Do & Don’ts for Online Communities
1. Do limit the amount of personally identifiable information that you reveal online or via any electronic communication with a stranger.
2. Do use robust, unique passwords that are not based on personal information, preferably including a combination of letters and numbers.
3. Do familiarize yourself with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service of the sites with which you choose to register or frequent.
4. Do use anti-virus, anti-spying, and firewall software to keep your computer secure.
5. Do temper your online comments and posts using good judgment, because those public records may exist for many years to come.
6. Don’t select a screen name that is provocative or explicit, because you will likely attract the wrong type of attention.
7. Don’t select a screen name that includes elements of your personally identifiable information.
8. Don’t agree to meet anyone in person who you’ve met online, unless you are accompanied by a group of friends and you are meeting in a busy, public location.
9. Don’t make false representations or engage in adversarial behavior, because you are not truly anonymous while online.
10. Don’t discuss or post pictures of your children online, unless you are using a highly-secure site or system.
