What risks are associated with sharing your information via a social network?
There is a risk that a stranger with wrong intentions could find the information and use it against you or in a harmful way, whether it's identity theft, spreading a virus, or any other form of harm.
What are steps I can take to protect my computer?
I can make sure that all my privacy settings are set to ensure that only the people I want to see my information will. I can ignore friend requests on social media from people I don't know in person or through a safe organization like Williamsburg Academy. I can regularly let my parents have access to my information so they can warn me if they see anything that looks unsafe.
Define online grooming.
The only information I could find in the reading is that it is a technique that an online predator uses to convince an underage user to have a relationship with them offline.
Which 3 of the "guidelines for young people" do I think are most important?
Set your profile to private. Seriously, why let the whole world see it? Your home isn't open to the whole world, so your life shouldn't be.
Keep personal information to yourself. If you don't want others to see it and it doesn't really need to be online, don't put it there.
Think about what you post. Unless you want that information associated with your name for potentially anyone to see, don't put it on the internet.
How much access should parents have to their children's social networking sites?
I strongly believe that parents should be able to access any part of their children's information. It's for their safety. Not only will it keep the children safe it can help them from developing bad habits.
