Why Internet Safety Is Important

Why is it important to protect your privacy on the internet?

It is very important to protect your privacy on the internet. There are many reasons for this. One reason is that if you aren't careful with your information, people can steal your identity and set up a new account with it. Also, people can find out where you live and come find you. This is putting your life in danger. People such as pedophiles pretend to be younger or older and find out more information about you. Another reason is phishing, email fraud and spamming. People pose as things they aren't and make you think that you are getting something by completing a survey or order form with your information. They also hack your accounts and get items with your information and money. For these many reasons, internet safety and privacy is extremely important.
