Week 2, #4 - Online Safety

Now that I have a child, internet safety is especially important to me. I want to post pictures on the internet so that my friends and family around the world can view them. Some of the people I invited to view my photos had trouble creating an account and logging in. Therefore, I decided to make my pictures public. I removed all names from the photos and I do not name specific locations. I also do not tag my photos. This way, people I do not know are less likely to come across them. Besides photos, I would never give out any personal information over the Internet unless I am sure of who I am communicating with. I would certainly never arrange a meeting with someone I met online. When my baby grows up I know I'll be the overprotective over the shoulder mother watching every little thing she does. As far as the Internet is concerned, there will, without a doubt, be major supervision.
