Be a Good Online
Citizen

It is easy to say things via phone or text message that you
would never say face to face. Remind your kids to maintain the same level of
courtesy online as they would in the real world.

–         
Safer for me and more secure for all: What you do
online has the potential to affect everyone — at home, at work and around the
world. Practicing good online habits benefits the global digital community.

–         
Text to others only as you would have them text to you.

–         
Only give your mobile number out to people you know and
trust and never give anyone else’s number out without their permission.

–         
Get permission before taking pictures or videos of
others with your phone: Likewise, let others know they need your permission
before taking pictures or videos of you.
