Online safety tips

Hi, we are Camilo Casares, Leo de Artiagoitia and Alex Mayer and we are going to show you how to stay safe in your daily use of Social Medias. We choose these theme because it is being very popular to expose yourself with photos and videos in your profile. We all use social medias, but, do you know how to stay safe? The social medias are like the street, there are bad people and good people, you can have a lot of fun, but also they are very dangerous places. That is why we are going to give you some tips to stay safe.

Our Tips:

• Not to talk with strangers.
• Don’t put your location in your Photos, Videos or Profile.
• Don’t open weird links or links that someone you don’t know sent you.
• Put your profile private, but if someone you don’t know sends you a friendship request do not accept him.
• Don’t publish Photos and/or Videos that expose you.

We recommend you to follow our tips and do the following:

If someone you don’t know chats you do not respond him because it could be a hacker or someone who is using a friends account. If he or she sends you something weird or inappropriate do not open that link. You only have to ignore that or block that person. Because if you block him, he would not be able to see your profile or contact you again. You should only unblock the account of your friend again, if you are sure that he or she controls it again.

My real story (Camilo Casares):

When I was 10 years old, I was surfing in the Internet, more specifically, in Facebook. I was checking the recently posts and suddenly a message showed up in my screen. The message was of a kid attending a higher year, I knew him, but I only talked with him one time, about curiosities and weird things, in another social media. The message said something like this: “This is for you, you like the curiosities and weird things” and a link.

I, like a fool, opened the link. It was a facebook page about curious data, but in the same moment the “Hacker’’ started to control my facebook and a message was sent to all my contacts: “Where did you take this picture?’’ and a link. Some friends open the link, a terrible idea. The link was a page, about downloading inappropriate videos and in the moment you entered, an inappropriate video for our 10 years started to play.
