 The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It
can be used to promote your business,
gain new friends, and stay in touch with
the old ones. It is also a source of
entertainment. But like most things in
this world, there is always “another side
of the coin.” The Internet is one of the
most dangerous places, especially if you
do not know what you are doing.

 Think Before You Click

1. Before you post something on the web, ask these questions to

yourself: Would you want your parents or grandparents to see it?
Would you want your future boss to see it? Once you post something
on the web, you have no control of who sees your posts.

2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online.

Talk to your friends about this serious responsibility.

3. Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will not be able
to scan that post.

4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan.

5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask the one
who posted it to pull it down or report it as inappropriate.
 If you create something—an
idea, an invention, a form of literary
work, or a research, you have the
right of how it should be used by
others. This is called intellectual
property.
Cybercrime – a crime committed or assisted through the use
of the internet
Privacy Policy – tells the user how the website will handle its
data.
Copyright – a part of the law, wherein you have the right to
your work, and anyone who uses it without your consent is
punishable by law.
Fair use – means that an intellectual property may be used
without a consent as long as it is used in commentaries,
criticisms, search engines, parodies, news reports, research,
library archiving, teaching and education.
