Question

Hey loves!
So, I know online safety can be difficult, I am aware there are previous posts about this, but not everyone saw them, or maybe they need more in depth help you know? So here's my take!

I always have an online name, like here it's Cullen! It's not my real name so people won't know, but they have something to call me.

Be aware of "too good to be true" things. This can include people offering you stuff, like "Hey.. I'll send you this thing from Amazon if you tell me your address." NEVER give out your address dear..

Be aware of AI. Many people are using AI to create convincing threats.

Don't fill out surveys that require personal information. Me personally, if I'm taking a quiz for fun and it asks for an email or other info to see my results, I just go to another site.

Be aware of who you're talking to! Trolls, adults, people who make you feel unsafe.
I had someone message me on here recently, they were fun to talk to at first but then they were like "Baby.." They were being really weird. So I stopped responding.

If you have any questions feel free to ask! I know this isn't the most in depth but in the middle of writing this my cat laid on me so I'm struggling. May edit later.

Stay safe!<3

anyways you stay safe as well thanks for the advice I don't really give out my personal information unless it for a job that I'm interviewing for so

Answer 2

This sets an example as of why people should be careful online and thank you for providing an experience as example from recently. This hopefully reaches the people who need it!
