After all, it's often as simple as applying a filter and pressing the \"post\" icon. Sharing personal information can be bad enough, as it can open the door to scammers and predators, but children can underestimate the reach of their choices on social media. Explain to them that even though they have the option to delete what they post, anything put online should be considered permanent. Their posts can easily be screenshotted or otherwise downloaded and shared publicly by someone else, whether or not they want it to be. Their posts can follow them for a long time and potentially compromise future education or career opportunities. Keep up on their privacy settings and monitor what they share online. END
