Social Media Safety and Etiquette

1. What is the best way to verify information you see on social media?

💡 Reporting alerts the platform's moderation team that content may violate community standards — such as harassment, hate speech, or nudity.

💡 Never share your home address publicly on social media — this information can be used by strangers for stalking, theft, or harm.
