• Remember, if you publish a picture or video online – anyone can change it or share it
• Be careful with SPAM / Junk email and texts: don’t believe it, reply to it or use it
• It’s not a good idea to open files that are from people you don’t know. You won’t know what they contain – it could be a virus or an inappropriate image or film
• It’s easier to get on with people online and say stuff you wouldn’t offline
• Some people lie online
• It’s better to keep online friends online. Don’t meet up with any strangers. Better to be uncool than unsafe!
