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
Net etiquette, be friendly, don’t ask stupid questions, etc…
I disagree with the “don’t ask stupid questions” any question you ask might be viewed as stupid by someone who knows the answer. Better to say “don’t ask questions you know are stupid”.
