What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety. Online safety is important because you want to protect what's rightfully your's. If someone else has access to your things online then you have no idea what they could do with it. Even if they're very close to you, something can happen even by complete accident and it could hurt you. You can protect yourself online by creating a strong password and making sure that you are the only person that has that password. I know that one of my friends had a problem with her password where people were getting on her twitter account from several different locations and she ended up having to change a lot of her passwords just to be safe. The reason behind the hacking was because her password just wasn't strong enough. So even though you think you might not need a hard password, sometimes it really matters.
