Twitter is without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now.
We want Twitter to be a safe and open community. This help page provides some information and tips to help you practice safe Tweeting and keep your account secure.
Here are some basics:
- Use a strong password.
- Watch out for suspicious links, and always make sure you’re on Twitter.com before you enter your login information.
- Don't give your username and password out to untrusted third-parties, especially those promising to get you followers or make you money.
- Make sure your computer and operating system is up-to-date with the most recent patches, upgrades, and anti-virus software.

Is it time for social media education in our schools? The recent Manti Te'o hoax is only the tip of the iceberg. He knew how to use social media, but didn’t understand its power.
There is an urgent need to educate students at all levels on the responsible use of social media. It’s time to help students navigate this unfiltered world of anonymous faces. When searching for a curriculum for social media education.
Teaching students how to set their privacy levels on applications is only the starting line, not the finish line.

Help students protect their reputation and well being, teach them about Privacy , Internet-Safety and basic knowledge of Cyber-Security.

Post highlighting embarrassing things raises questions of user privacy with Graph Search, which Facebook users cannot opt out of
Facebook believes its responsibility is to provide the privacy settings, while users are responsible for using them. "You control who you share your interests and likes with on Facebook," the company said Thursday in an emailed statement.
When joining Facebook, people trade their personal information for free use of the social network. Given that, security experts agree that people are responsible for controlling who sees that information.
However, some experts believe Facebook does not go far enough in educating users about the potential threats in keeping information public. Because Graph Search makes all that personal information easily searchable, education on its dangers should be a much higher priority for Facebook.
===> "Some people do not grasp the importance of Graph Search," said Bogdon Botezatu, a senior e-threat analyst for Bitdefender. "So maybe it would be better for Facebook to actually inform people that some things will change." <===

"There should be millions of Twitter users that have signed in with Twitter into third-party applications. Some of these applications might have gained access to and might still have access to Twitter users private direct messages," he points out, and advises users to check third-party applications permissions and revoke the apps to which they never gave permission to access their DMs.
