It is now almost impossible to imagine a world without the internet or to imagine a future where the internet has less of a role in our lives than it does today.

It is important to acknowledge the positive effect the internet has on society. We can be connected with loved ones in an instant, no matter where they are in the world; businesses can access markets far greater than could be achieved through traditional means at far less cost; and students have a wealth of information and resources at their fingertips.

At the same time there are risks associated with the online world. While Government has an important role, it alone cannot effectively address Online Safety issues. Industry, educators, parents, and children and young people must all play their part.

Don’t be duped into buying fakes!

Counterfeit products are available in all corners of the Internet, and buyers find it difficult to differentiate between real and fake products.
To help online shoppers identify fakes, the consumers should look at:

Price - If the price is too good to be true, then it is most likely a counterfeit.

Packaging - Stay away from products that are shipped without packaging or are packaged poorly. If it does come in a package, look out for misspellings, blurry logos, or smudged ink.

Place - Be wary of which sites you shop from. Fake websites are designed to look professionally made by mimicking the design and typography of the real brand. Always fact-check the “FAQ” or “About Us” tabs for inconsistencies, and make sure there is an acceptable return policy.

MAKE ONLINE PURCHASES FROM SECURE SITES.

Any time you make a purchase online, you need to provide credit card or bank account information—exactly what cybercriminals are most eager to get their hands on. Only supply this information to sites that provide secure, encrypted connections. You can identify secure sites by looking for an address that starts with https: (the S stands for secure) rather than simply http: They may also be marked by a padlock icon next to the address bar.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST.

The internet does not have a delete key. Any comment or image you post online may stay online forever because removing the original (e.g from Facebook, Instagram or twitter...) doesn’t not remove any copies that other people made. There is no way for you to take back a remark you wish you hadn’t made or get rid of that embarrassing selfie you took at a party. Don’t put anything online that you wouldn’t want your mom or prospective employer to see.
