Online Safety Tip: The Billboard Test
Before you tap share, post, or send, ask yourself or your teen: "Would I be comfortable putting this photo, comment, or personal detail on a billboard in the middle of town or along Kellogg?
Even if you have private settings enabled, a quick screenshot can turn private posts permanent in seconds.
Quick Checklist before posting:
- Does this reveal daily routines, home addresses, or school logos?
- Does this give away answers to common security questions (e.g., first pet, childhood school)?
- Would I be okay with a future employer, teacher, or stranger seeing this?
Stay smart, stay safe! 💙
