Prevention and combating cyber bullying and internet violence among youth– manual for youth workers –close friends? Can you trust that each one of them won't share or talk about your post withothers? Facebook statistics suggest that the average young user has up to 300 online friends.This private profile suddenly doesn't seem so private at all.Do I have permission?You might find that badly angled photograph of your friend amusing, but the likelihood is thatthey will not. Be respectful of other people's privacy; don't share photos or information thatwill embarrass or humiliate someone.Would I like me?If you were a stranger looking in at your profile, what would you think? If most of your postsare in some way critical, unkind, offensive or negative, how do you think you are beingperceived?Is it legal?In the eyes of the law, posting online is not the same as having an informal chat with yourfriends. Posting is publishing, just the same as if it was written in the newspaper. Even if yourprofile is private, you do not own what you publish – meaning anyone can use it as evidence.Make sure you do not post anything that might get you into trouble with the law.Harassment, hate speech, threats of violence, ruining someone's reputation and pictures orcomments suggesting illegal activity can all be used against you.34
