Being online nowadays is a norm. In fact, it is not common for people not to have facebook account, twitter account or any other types of social media account especially among the younger generation.
When MfMC's volunteer, Mohd Khafiz Bachok did a solo cycling from Johor Bharu to Kota Bharu in August 2012 to spread MfMC's message, he stopped at 2 primary schools to educate the children about their safety. When asked how many of them have facebook account, more than half of the students raised their hand.
Having facebook or twitter or any form of social media account is not an issue. The issue is what can and cannot be shared online. Or rather, what should and should not be shared online. How safe is our personal information online?
Now, as parents and adults in the house, do we care to check our children's activities online? Children are naive when it comes to their own safety. They rely on adults to keep on reminding them. They share all sorts of their personal information and life online. They thought because it is password protected, all the information they posted online are safe. They are wrong. And if we, the parents and adults thought that it is ok not to check on their online activities, we are more wrong than them.
