Online Safety JunctionJunctionBuzz is dedicated to making your online stay as comfortable and as safe as possible. We however, urge you to adhere to the following safe online practices. Remember, the safety practices that you make a habit of are the ones that you will pass on to your next generation also; hence, they will go a long way in creating a safe online environment for your children. Your profile is visible to others: The information you have on your profile may be seen by all. Hence, be careful about what you post on your profile. If certain information is confidential or would be potentially harmful, if made public; it is advisable not to put it on your profile. Internet gives a false sense of security to people: Just because you may not always be able to “see” the person on the other end, it is not that the person does not exist. Hence, be careful about what personal information you share with others online. Internet gives an opportunity to hide their real details: Let’s face the facts, people do lie and hide many things in order to appear nice to others. Hence, it is advisable not to believe every word that the other party says, especially if you do not know the other person. So, be careful about the extent of information you share. Any acts of violation should be reported: If you come across anything that you feel is not “right”, REPORT IT. A more proactive approach is the only thing that can perhaps make the online environment more secure for all. Don’t be afraid, as no one will judge you. JunctionBuzz applauds any act of reporting a potentially dangerous or any act of violation of laws. Never lie about your actual age: If you lie about your actual age, not only are you committing an act of violation but also, you are attracting many potential dangers to yourself. So, NEVER lie about your actual age online. Staying truthful will take you a long way.
