SECURITY SETTINGS
FINAL THOUGHTS • Public Pictures – Your profile picture and cover photo are public by default, and this setting can’t be changed. If this concerns you, then don’t use a personal photograph. Also, be sure to use sharing controls for your photos and albums. • Be careful what you post – once you post something online it can potentially come back to haunt you. Use the built in sharing controls for status updates and other posts to limit access to the intended audience. • Be careful what you click – Even if all of your controls are set properly, clicking malicious links and installing malware can not only wreck your computer system, but it can affect your privacy and online safety as well. • Log out of Facebook – Facebook has been known to track user activity on other websites, so logout when you are not using Facebook. Also, staying logged in can make it easier for your account to be hacked if you login from shared computers. • Anti-virus software – install a reputable security software application and keep it updated. • Facebook Help Centre – Be sure to check this valuable resource for more information on any of the topics discussed in this post.

CYBER BULLYING What Is It? • Bullying through electronic means • Text, Facebook, YouTube common mediums • Against school rules and against the law • Ubiquitous Phones, computers • Public Visible to anyone • Constant School, play, home • Viral Social media
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT CYBERBULLYING? 1 Anytime, anywhere and anonymous: cyberbullying can take place at any time and can happen anywhere. Cyberbullying can happen when children are in their personal safe space, like at home. The person cyberbullying may never be in the same physical space as their target and may attempt to appear anonymous. 2 Large audience and a rapid reach: the difficultly in controlling electronically circulated messages, pictures or videos means the scale and scope of cyberbullying can be greater than other forms of bullying. 3 “It’s just a joke!” Some instances of cyberbullying can be unintentional. It can be the result of not thinking, for example something sent as a joke may be deeply upsetting or offensive to the recipient. 4 Evidence trail: many cyberbullying incidents can themselves act as evidence. A trail of evidence can be gathered from online and mobile communications.
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? Although bullying is not a specific criminal offence in UK law, there are laws that can apply in terms of harassing or threatening behaviour. Some cyberbullying actions can be criminal offences under a range of different laws including the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, Malicious Communications Act 1988, section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and the Public Order Act 1986.
RESPONSE • Don’t react: responding to the bully only makes it worse • Report the bullying to parents, teachers, and site admin • Don’t participate • Save evidence • Encourage others to stand up

WHAT IS WHATSAPP ENCRYPTION AND HOW DO YOU TURN IT ON WhatApps now securely encrypts every single message, call, picture, video or any other type of file you send so that the only person who can read or view it is the recipient. Not even WhatsApp has the ability to intercept and view those messages. As a user, you don’t have to turn this feature on, nor can you turn it off. You should receive a message within your chats if you are using the latest version of the app (which is required) to let you know the change has been implemented for you.
SHOULD YOU GET RID OF WHATSAPP? WhatsApp is a great messenger app, but between Facebook’s ownership of it and the ever-increasing number of security worries, it’s looking like it might be a safer idea to use a more secure messaging app, like Telegram, a very popular alternative. While most users won’t find that they get taken advantage of because they’re using WhatsApp, the worry will always be there. And now that WhatsApp has been identified as a high-priority target for hackers, it might not be worth the risk.
