In this episode, hosts Christine and Emily discuss online safety.As adults, we don’t often discuss how to stay safe while interacting with others online, but we know that online predators exist too. Unfortunately, there are people whose sole goal is to stalk unknowing victims online, then inflict violence in person. Hackers also utilize public information to target and attack strangers. Nowadays, people can have access to our personal information with a super simple Google search—- which is actually quite scary. Some people even post their every move and travel plan on their social media accounts in real time, without thinking about who can access that info or even what they can do with that information. Also, many widely used apps track our online behavior and interactions and either recommend our pages to strangers, or show us certain ads, images, etc. In other words, our information is constantly shared and constantly consumed. It’s up to us to protect ourselves and we wanted to bring more awareness to these issues.As always, thanks for listening! Please be sure to share your thoughts on our IG page: inprogress_podWe would especially love to know if you have additional online safety tips.
