• Reputational and legal safety – freedom from unwanted social, academic, professional, and legal consequences that could affect you for a lifetime
• Identity, property, and community safety – freedom from theft of identity & property
Types of Internet safety
How the Internet changes the equation...
• Persistence & searchability: Net as permanent searchable archive
• Replicability: ability to copy and paste from anywhere, to anywhere
• Scalability: high potential visibility
• Invisible audiences: you never know who’s watching
• Blurring of public and private: boundaries not clearAND WE ADD IN:
• Disinhibition: Lack of visual cues reduces empathy
