    What can I do to protect myself on Facebook or other sites?
    One of the most fun things to do on sites like Facebook is following links on people’s profiles to see what sorts of things they’re into. However, scams are all over the net, and it can be hard to figure out which links are legit and which aren’t. By the time you’ve figured out you’ve been had, it’s probably too late to retrieve whatever details you’ve unwittingly given out. While this can make it tricky to fully protect yourself online, the tips below can go someway towards helping:

    Identity theft is when someone sets up a webpage (or uses documents like passports) to pretend they are you. Sometimes on social networking sites like Facebook, people can set up a page which looks like you made it, but it says mean things about you and makes you look bad. This is a form of harassment and any kind of harassment - online or off - is not OK.

    Just like the footprint you leave when you walk on the beach, your digital footprint is the trail you leave about yourself when you’re on the net. Anything you do online, including any profiles you have created, the sites you’ve visited and the online conversations you’ve had, add to this trail - even if you think you’ve been doing things anonymously, or have hidden them (e.g. deleted them from your computer)!
