dangers of internet

[Caroline_4]

what are the possible risks of young people using the internet, mobile phones or other technology?

[Ruthierhyme]

Hi, there are risks such as

• digital or cyber bullying - where actions aim to harm through threatening behaviour, intimidation, or cause/create social exclusion/emotional distress, sense of isolatation
• identity theft or account abuse
  -- where passwords & usernames are given to another or someone forgets to logout of an account once they're finished or need to leave it
  -- or where personal photos are taken and used/manipulated inappropriately.
• exposure to unsuitable webites, links that risk computer infection, products, images, violence in game play, inappropriate language through video or text
• inappropriate or unexpected contact from people that are unknown
• the passing on of phone numbers

This can all be done through services such as search engines, social networking sites, email, mobile phones, texting, message or online chat
