DC Internet Safety

Jodi Smith
I have used Facebook for almost 10 years and, fortunately, have not had issues with privacy.  I am careful to allow only people I know to view my posts and I am careful, too, not to be too controversial or politcal with my comments.  It has been a great tool for me to connect with friends from long-ago.  However, my children are now beginning to want to join the world of social media.  I am using the privacy tools to make their accounts as unaccessible to unknown "friends" as possible.  It is not easy as they enjoy receiving friend requests.  I try to explain to them the dangers and the importance of being vigilant with their on-line accounts.  
I recently joined Twitter and am currently learning to navigate that site.  I have not yet figured out all the privacy options and until I do so, I am keeping my 'tweets' light-hearted and non-political.  It feels like a whole frontier is out there!
