5 things you can do to make the internet a better place

1. First and foremost - be nice to each other!

No matter what, always make the effort to be kind online, share the love!

2. Always get consent.

Want to post that photo of your bestie at the beach? Make sure that you get their permission before you post. Whether it’s a picture or simply a tag, it’s always good to check with them first - what if it’s something they don’t want putting out there?!

3. Look out for others.

We can all help one another and make being online more positive and a safe space by speaking up when someone is mean or rude online. It’s good to be supportive - and to feel supported - when navigating the online world. 

4. Filter out the negative.

If you feel that something online isn't right, maybe it makes you think 'Ugh!' reporting inappropriate or illegal content and behaviour online can help to make the internet a more positive and safer space for everyone. You can make a difference!

5. Protect your rep!

The internet can be a force for good so seek out positive opportunities to create, engage and share; making the most of the online world. You’re representing you when you post – so be the best version of you!
