Internet Safety
#ToResearch #Knowledge #reflection
A large question looms.
How can I keep Rae safe on the internet without just staying off it?
Rae is at the age where the internet and internet literacy is becoming a large part of her world, personally and socially.
I can also see her excitement for it, how she wants to interact with the world through the internet.
She's always asking, yes-anding to posting on the internet and sharing on youtube.
She's able to consent to this now, it's her image.
I worry about her ability to control it, to be safe on the internet.
Part of this concern feels unfounded. Of what am I scared? Phishing attempts?
Cyber Bullying is something that has been around my whole life, but as I got older I saw more and more examples of suicides and extreme cases.
Misogony in many forms and not the least porn and the protrayal of women in general in lots of the internet.
Hate Speech of any kind, the wrong forum or comment section.
Even just biased algorithms.
I have named the fears, now what do I do?
