Protect personal information
Keep passwords and private details private, use unique passwords where possible, and ask a trusted adult before sharing information or opening an unfamiliar link.
Communicate with care
Disagree with ideas without attacking people, ask before changing someone else's work, and use block or report tools rather than escalating harassment.
Think before sharing
Check who made a claim, look for evidence and dates, and consider whether an image, headline, or message might be missing important context.
