 Think Before You Click
1. Before you post something on the
web, ask these questions to yourself:
Would you want your parents or
grandparents to see it? Would you
want your future boss to see it? Once
you post something on the web, you
have no control of who sees your
posts.
2. Your friends depend on you to
protect their reputation online. Talk
to your friends about this serious
responsibility.
 Think Before You Click

way, search engines will not be able to
scan that post.

for search engines to scan.
• 5. If you feel that a post can affect you
or other’s reputation, ask the one who
posted it to pull it down or report it as
inappropriate.
