Task 7: Protecting minors who use facebook.

Advice for Minors.

1. Dont share your password with anyone.
2. Only accept friend requests from people you know.
3. Dont post anything you wouldnt want your parents or teachers to see.
4. Be aunthetic, the real you is better than anything you might pretend to be.
5. Learn about privacy settings, and review them more often.

Report Abusive Content

Be sure to always report abusive content whether it’s on your profile page, or someone else’s. You can also report inappropriate Pages, Groups, Events and fake or impostor profiles. (Remember that reporting is confidential, so no one will know who made the report.)

Think Before You Post

It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and write or do something that may seem hilarious at the time. But remember, what you say can really hurt someone, or come back to haunt you. Think before you post. It only takes a second or two. Ask yourself if you really want to say it. Make sure you don’t mind if your friends, classmates, or teachers hear about it later.
Also remember that any information you post – whether in a comment, a note, or a video chat – might be copied, pasted, and distributed in ways that you didn't intend. Before you post, ask yourself would I be OK if this content was shared widely at school or with my future employer?
At the same time, we all make mistakes. If you find yourself wishing you hadn’t said or done
something, it’s never too late to apologize.
