Use Caution…

…with digital communication.

Never consider email or text messages as private.

Also beware of personal photos and information you post online, especially if you’re a blogger.

I thought of that (again) when I read this:

Pew Internet: Cyberbullying and Teens

About one third (32%) of all teenagers who use the internet say they have been targets of a range of annoying and potentially menacing online activities – such as receiving threatening messages; having their private emails or text messages forwarded without consent; having an embarrassing picture posted without permission; or having rumors about them spread online.

Here are some books whose titles look interesting. I have read none of them, so this does not constitute a recommendation.
