why net safety?
The internet is place like any other, where you can have fun, learn stuff and meet people. It is also a virtual world unlike other places, where people can pretend to be whoever they wish without you being able to check it out. This means that many people do and say things feeling they won’t be caught. This means that the internet can be used by people to hurt, harm and cause damage to other internet users. Internet users need to take care to keep themselves safe.
