The Internet can be a dangerous place. To help prevent cyberstalking and harassment, there are certain steps you can take:
- Set strict privacy settings on all of your social media profiles and devices.
- Avoid oversharing information and only share necessary personal information.
- Avoid reacting to negative or harassing comments and instead report them to the platform immediately.
- Do not meet up with anyone you met online and always meet in a public place.
- Regularly check search engine results to make sure there is not false information about you online.
- Research any new websites before giving the site personal details or downloading any files.
