There are many reasons to why keeping safe on the internet is good for you. The biggest topic of internet safety right now is most likely cyber bullying. Being on the internet has its pros and cons but being safe is one of the best things you can do for yourself. The best way to start is if you have any type of social media account it is best to put it to a private account. Putting your account private has its benefits and is much safer for you and your account. Benefits of that is you can choose who to accept into your followers list and that can make you more comfortable to post whatever pictures you want. No one other than who you accept can see what is on your account which is why having a private account is a very safe option and is good for beginners starting social media. Another way you can keep yourself safe on the internet is Changing your password/passwords on a regular basis. That is very helpful incase you have viruses on your phone and can prevent you from getting hacked. Passwords are very important as they keep your account and privacy safe. There are many more ways to keep yourself safe on the internet but I think those two are very important and can keep your pretty safe.
