7. What Risks Can I Find Using New Technologies

Forward

One of the risks is cyberbullying, a new way to undermine the peacefulness of others through the publication of offensive, indecent photographs or videos - not authorized by the subject - on social networks.
Often the offense or insult to a weak mate becomes the object of ridicule and the whole group is thus changed into a “gang”.
The greatest risk is to meet unscrupulous people or people with bad intentions who can entrap and get you involved in unpleasant and / or dangerous situations.
Suggestions to prevent cyber-bullying:

  • Being careful on what is being written on one’s personal Web page
  • Adapting and double checking the privacy settings (do not leave the profile open to public)
  • Avoiding publishing too personal material
  • Refusing friend requests from unknown people
