GENERATION INTERNET – JOE BROWN

• An internet search for “Joe Brown

– Lagan College – Facebook” shows up several accounts.

• Joe Brown’s social media account

shows that he does not have secure privacy settings, so anyone can read his posts:

Paul: Are you playing in the match tomorrow? Joe: Yeah – see you there.

We can see from Joe’s profile:

• he attends Lagan College
• he is probably about 14 years old
• what he looks like (he has photos of

himself available)

a picture of Paul tagged often on his profile)

mentioned that on a family post)
