"Everyone should know that many aspects of your online behavior are visible to others.

In this article, you will learn the function of third-party cookies, ad tracking, and how to block Internet ad tracking."

"The FBI is encouraging users to visit a website run by its security partner, http://www.dcwg.org , that will inform them whether they're infected and explain how to fix the problem. After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the Internet"

"Companies are using free smartphone apps as 'fronts' to allow them to spy on users' text messages, intercept calls and even track their location, it was claimed yesterday. By accepting little-read terms and conditions when downloading apps, consumers give developers the right to harvest vast swathes of private information. Facebook insists that people using its Android smartphone app agree to give them permission to read their text messages, although the internet giant said it had not yet taken advantage of this right."

from Instructify: "We all leave behind a trail of digital footprints when we use technology, whether it is from searching with Google, adding a comment to a blog post, or logging into a social network. While most adults might be cognizant that, given the archiving abilities of the internet, our trail will never really go cold, it is doubtful that many young people realize this. Sites like MyFootprints are designed to fill that gap by giving students the tools and experience to understand that what they are doing today with technology might have ramifications for tomorrow."

Welcome to A Parents' Guide to Facebook (PDF). It's designed to help you understand what Facebook is and how to use it safely. With it, you will be better informed and able to communicate with young Facebook users in your life more effectively. That's important because 1) if something goes wrong, we want our children to come to us and 2) as the Internet becomes increasingly social and mobile, a parent's guidance and support are ever more key to young people's well-being in social media and technology. The guidebook is published in partnership with the iKeepSafe Coalition.

"The Internet is a fantastic source of facts, but also a source of dubious claims and misinformation. Here we offer our observations on which sites are generally reliable and unbiased, and which are not." Links to Federal government, NGOs and advocacy groups We've sorted the sites into three baskets: * The Official Word - Sites where you can find government statistics and official reports and documents. * Policy Wonks - Sites of non-governmental organizations that study issues, though not always from a neutral point of view. * For the Cause - Sites that offer information while also advocating a particular stance on a policy matter. We've indicated some of our favorites with a , and put a by some that we think you should be wary of."
