This Friday we started a debate about safety on the internet with a few questions in hand for starters. We asked what is the  attraction of having many followers? I explained that with a lot of likes and followers you feel more relevant. However, it is impossible to know what people really think about you through just liking a photo. Another other question we had was, what are some of the reasons why someone would create a fake account? Now this isn’t very proactive or good in any way because if you create a new account with no-one knowing who it is and then send a negative comment, insults or death threats to a person, you can dramatically change a persons day or even life.

In conclusion you should keep your account private in case of fake accounts that try to ruin your day and always know who is in your social media platform and only add people you know like for example family and friends.
