what are the various negative social security issues that one can be exposed to when using internet?
Answers
Answer:
The internet, with its endless access to information, is a valuable tool but also a potential risk to safety and security. It is important to monitor or be aware of what a child sees and shares, or could become exposed to. There is a high risk of being exposed to sexual predators (for example, in chatrooms), pornography or radicalisation.
Using e-technology to bully people has become an increasing problem in recent years with over a third of young people having being affected at least once. There has been a massive increase in online bullying due to the use of social media such as Twitter or Facebook, which is easily accessible through mobile devices as well as computers.
Examples include:
Posting negative comments on someone’s Facebook/Twitter site
Taking on someone’s identity on the web to humiliate them
Harassing someone via their mobile phone/social media.
Staff should be aware of the risks and check that any technological devices children use are secure and have the relevant security installed. Children may be enticed to access certain websites with the offer of special offers and prizes. They should report any concerns to a line manager immediately
