It's funny how you start to become more aware of things as they become more relevant in your own life...Last night while watching the MUCHMUSIC channel, a commercial came on and immediately grabbed my attention. The commercial opened with a girl sharing ALL of her information with a group of guys on the street. She shared information about her personal life, her address, and plans for vacation. Turns out that the guys on the street were strangers, and without sounding judgmental, the men were.... questionable. The message of the commercial was essentially that you wouldn't share your information with three, strange men on the street and so you should be careful of what you post online as well as the information becomes public and can be accessed by almost anyone.
Although I was unable to find the commercial online for you to view, the commercial did offer a great website to get extra information on how to be safe online:
The website is comprised of silly little videos of the dos and donts of being safe online. The videos seem to be directed at the teenage population but offer some very important and relevant information when it comes to social media and personal information!
