 * Staying safe on social networks article: **

You have to be careful on social networks because there are dangerous people. Never give away personal information away to people you don’t know. If a stranger texts, tweets, messages to you, tell someone. Don’t start talking to anyone on Facebook or Twitter or any public websites because a lot of people aren’t who they say they are. As you send something to someone else it could go through other people who could copy or change it. We need digital security because the internet is getting out of control with so many people. People can post inappropriate things that younger kids shouldn’t see or have access to.
