Internet Safety 101


Recommended Posts

Posted

It is 2016, technology is ever changing! ARE YOU BEING SAFE?!

 

Let's go over a few very general things you can keep in mind to STAY SAFE!

 

Basic information:

 

Did you know if you give out your phone number, a reverse search can be done and someone could find your name and billing address? Well it can be done! So be very wary of who you give your number too!

 

Say you are talking to someone for a reallllllllyyyyyyyy long time and they are pressuring you for things such as your name, number, address etc. YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION. If they continue to pressure you, forget them! Tell them it makes you uncomfortable and you will not divulge your personal info!

 

We often share pictures of ourselves with friends, potential lovers, etc. Be careful what pictures you share! A reverse image search can easily find your facebook, twitter, tumblr etc! For some people this may not be an issue, for others it could really interefere with a personal or professional life, so think before you share!

 

On the forum:

 

You are not obligated to accept every friend request you get, hence the deny option! If you have your kik, fetlife or skype on your profile, anyone added can see that! So think before you add! Do you want that person to have access to that information? If someone continues to attempt to add you have their request was denied, please report them, chances are you are not the first person they have done this to.

 

Other:

 

Most of us have a tumblr, facebook, twitter, fetlife, kik, skype or instagram (if not all). We all love showing off these sites, which are a reflection of us. Before you share, go through and make sure you don't any senstive information that you have forgotten about. Location, name or pictures with friends. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!

 

Check what usernames you are giving! We often use the same username for things, could searching your kink username lead to your personal usernames?

EMAILS! Seems outdated but some prefer it! Be careful who you give your email too! It could lead to your facebook or other personal social/professional sites that you use!
