With the years I learned some rules of behavior on internet, but I wonder if there is some kind of extensive guide for parents who are not experienced with technology.
For example, I don’t think content blockers are a good idea for teenagers. It works for kids, but teenagers will find workarounds because parents were lazy about teaching them the dangers and instead used a spyware app.
Here is a bad written list of some obvious rules:
- Be anonymous
- Use private social media accounts
- Do not tell any personal information
- Use ad blockers
- Learn to recognize ads
- Learn to recognize AI generated text and images
- Learn to recognize scam
- Understand consent
- Learn to prevent blackmail
- Learn to prevent grooming
- Learn how fake pornography is and the unrespectful content
But I wish there was some kind of step by step guide
Step 1) Don’t let kids on the internet.
There is no step 2. The internet is not a place for kids. It’s barely a place for teens, but hopefully you’ve taught teenagers how to behave online by the time they’re 15.
Step 1) Don’t let kids outside
There is no step 2. The outside world is not a place for kids. It’s barely a place for teens, but hopefully you’ve taught teenagers how to behave outside by the time they’re 15.
On point lmao
Most of my knowledge including the field I study now, is due to having internet as a kid and its power to learn by yourself
You don’t teach without experience
