Online social networks, such as MySpace and Facebook, all have different privacy settings — some safer than others — but any personal information that gets put up online automatically puts you at risk for predators and inappropriate material.
Facebook recently established a set of principles that will hopefully make social networking safer for teen users. From now on, anyone under the age of 18 who signs up for an account will be required to read online safety tips provided by the site. Once a member, safety tips will be visible more frequently throughout Facebook. Several other safety features have been added to the popular social network, like the Limited Profile, and they will continue to be added as new safety issues arise.
So, what do you think? Do you feel safe on Facebook and other social networking sites? How do you protect yourself online? Sound off below!
