that your parents, during their teenage years,

used to promote your business, gain new friends,
and stay in touch with the old ones. It is also a
source of entertainment though games, online
communities, and everything in between. But like
most things in this world, there is always the
“other side of the coin”.

places, especially if you do not know what you are
doing with it.

superhighway. This means that anyone has access
to this highway, can place information, and can
grab that information.

to protect yourself.

learn how the website handles the information
you share.

PROTECTING REPUTATION
ONLINE
In the past, doing something embarrassing was
not much of a big deal. It happened; people would
laugh at it, and they would move on.
Nowadays, embarrassing moments are captured
using any device you could imagine. What is worse
is that people can easily upload it to the internet,
where it can be stored forever.
ONLINE
Once you post something over the Internet,
search engines keep them in their archives for
search results.
Something you and your friends and your friends
find funny today may be something that could harm
someone’s reputation later.
ONLINE
Before hiring, companies do a background check
on the applicant, and the easiest way to check your
background us to visit pages that are related to you.
THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK
Here are things you might want to consider before

posting something over the internet:
1. Before you oust something on the web, ask these
questions to yourself: Would you want your
parents or grandparents to see it? Would you want
your future boss see it? Once you post something
on the web, you have no control of who sees your
photos.
2. Your friends depend on you to protect their

reputation online. Talk to your friends about this
serious responsibility.
3. Set your post to “private”. In this way, search
engines will not be able to scan that post.
4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search

engines to scan.
5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s
reputation, ask the one who posted it to pull it
down or report it as inappropriate.
