What does it mean to be a digital citizen?

00:16.660 --> 00:19.140
Everything is connected in the digital world.

00:19.140 --> 00:24.060
That's why it's important to respect other people's privacy and take control of your own.

00:24.060 --> 00:29.960
Apps, browsers and devices have privacy settings that let you limit who sees what you post.

00:29.960 --> 00:34.760
Control what data companies can collect about you and turn off targeted ads.

00:34.760 --> 00:40.760
You can also use privacy tools like apps and browser extensions that do even more to stop tracking

00:40.760 --> 00:44.660
and you can choose apps and services that respect your privacy.

00:44.660 --> 00:48.160
But it's just as important to respect other people's privacy.

00:48.160 --> 00:54.560
Before you share a photo, a video, or anything else with somebody in it, make sure they approve.

00:54.560 --> 00:56.660
Don't guess whether or not they'd say yes.

00:56.760 --> 01:01.260
There might be reasons why somebody might not want something shared that you're not aware of.

01:01.260 --> 01:04.260
You also shouldn't assume that it's okay to share something.

01:04.260 --> 01:08.060
That's especially true if it might hurt or embarrass one of the people in it.

01:08.060 --> 01:12.360
And of course, you shouldn't ever pressure somebody to share something they don't want to.

01:12.360 --> 01:16.360
Remember, once something is online, it's out of your control.

01:16.360 --> 01:20.360
So, make good choices about your privacy and others.
