Here’s advice from Common Sense Media to help kids protect their privacy:
1. Explain that nothing is really private. Privacy
settings aren’t infallible, so it’s up to kids to protect
themselves by thinking twice before they post
something that could damage their reputation or
that someone else could use to embarrass or
hurt them.
2. Teach kids to keep personal information private.
3. Remind kids to protect their friends' privacy.
4. Help kids think long term. Everything leaves a
digital footprint. Whatever gets created may never
go away. If they don’t want to see it tomorrow,
they'd better not post it today.
