With the years I learned some rules of behavior on internet, but I wonder if there is some kind of extensive guide for parents who are not experienced with technology.

For example, I don’t think content blockers are a good idea for teenagers. It works for kids, but teenagers will find workarounds because parents were lazy about teaching them the dangers and instead used a spyware app.

Here is a bad written list of some obvious rules:

  • Be anonymous
  • Use private social media accounts
  • Do not tell any personal information
  • Use ad blockers
  • Learn to recognize ads
  • Learn to recognize AI generated text and images
  • Learn to recognize scam
  • Understand consent
  • Learn to prevent blackmail
  • Learn to prevent grooming
  • Learn how fake pornography is and the unrespectful content

But I wish there was some kind of step by step guide

    • Do not share nude pics of yourself (even not to your boy/girlfriend)
    • Do not upload pics of your face to funny AI apps
    • Learn to recognize and ignore social media trolls
    • Learn netiquette writing style in social media
    • Do not write bad things about colleagues and boss in emails at work
    • Recognize dark shopping patterns such as time counter, discounts, voucher height
    • Recognize fake shops
    • Recognize no returns (Chinese) shops
    • Recognize gambling patterns in games such as loot boxes, rewards and more for real money
    • Understand the money loss through subscription schemes
    • Do not buy now and pay later

    Sorry for this long list. It’s just a terrible place for kids
