    SOCIAL NETWORKS PLAY SAFE AND AVOID THE DANGERS!

    Social networking sites are a great way of making new friends and keeping in touch
    with old ones. Millions of people all over the world are now using them regularly.

    My Space was the first of these sites. When it opened in 2003, it was used mostly by
    bands who wanted to communicate with fans and post information about concert
    dates and new records. Fans could download the music of new bands, like The Arctic
    Monkeys, and exchange messages and photos. Now there are Facebook and Bebo,
    where people can express their opinions, chat with their friends and make new
    friends.

    However, this means millions of people are sharing personal information with people
    they dont know. But how safe is this? Remember that once information is online, you
    may not be able to control what happens to it.

    Posting online

    Most sites allow you to create a profile. This may include a photo, a description of
    your family, your likes and dislikes, favourite music and videos. It may be linked to
    your friends profile. Remember that thousands of people may see your profile and not
    everyone will agree with your opinions. Think about the future. Will your profile or
    pictures be embarrassing if your parents or teachers see them? Will you get into
    trouble?

    Be cautious!

    Other people can put together pieces of information about you and use the
    information for illegal purposes.

    Keep your password safe and change it often.

    Dont give your date of birth to strangers.

    Never reveal your home address and telephone number to strangers.


    Remember the famous case of Rachel Bell, who used My Space to invite her
    friends to a party while her parents were away. Hundreds of strangers arrived
    at her house and totally wrecked it.

    But enjoy it!

    Most people use networking site safely. Be careful online in the same way as you are
    careful offline. If something begins to spoil your fun for example, you receive
    unwanted attention or offensive comments tell an adult and contact the site
    administrator.
