This blog is about how to stay safe in EC and make people be aware of the danger of social networking.
I just want to remind people that the internet is not a place to expect privacy. I am not talking about hackers, viruses, spywares or websites. What I am talking about is US, each individual person. It is you and me.
Everyday lots of people sign up EC. You and I have many friends. We only have the chance to communicate through the blogs, photos, videos etc., etc. We become friends, but do we know each other well enough?
Internet friendships are like any other friendship in the fact that to be maintained you have to work on them; though, meeting friends online is easier than making friends by seeing them. Many of them are friendly, some aren't. You never know the identity of the person you talk to everyday online. Many people are not who they reveal themselves to be. It's okay to keep trust in online friends, but don't make yourself vulnerable to attack. Be safe about how you're choosing your friends. Giving out your information may be dangerous, like your photos, address, etc. One day, you may be stabbed in the back.
We use the internet without understanding what information we leave behind. I can see that many of us use their real photos in their profile, surnames with names and other information leading to their private life. Well, this is the internet. There is no such thing as privacy around here. It may seem like you are pretty much safe, but smart nerds are watching us, waiting for the right moment to attack the “target”.
Here are two basic rules to be safe online in EC.
1 - Do not give out your full name, address, or phone number to anyone online that you don't trust or don't know in person. They might not be who they claim to be. If you can, abbreviate your last name, or just use your first name.
2- Be careful with your details. Always be careful what you say on the internet. Some stuff can get you into trouble with people you have never even met before. Remember, once you put your information on the internet, you don't know whose hands it will fall into.
You will now understand what I mean. Be aware! People who you think to be your friends and whom you share your information with may use your photo with your full name and your comments and expose you in the public, humiliating you. You can never imagine how. Why do they do that? Because they simply are bad. I want to say something to those who enjoy exposing their friends in the public. It’s fun to spy on your friends and use the information against them, isn’t it? You can have fun, but never forget no one believes you. It is you who is bad, not the person you smear his/her reputation with your ugly attack.
We are here to be connected, to collaborate, inform, help, learn, teach, enjoy and be friends. While there is a way to open your heart to the world and shout your beliefs out that you could never able to do, why use this fantastic innovation and communication tool to harm others?

Zulkifli,
I agree with you about the fact "Anele is strong". And, I told her if she can't overcome something just to call me and I will deal with it!" haha :))
Hi Yasemin-chan, they attack successful people because they are envy, but the naive ones become the victims accidentally and dead, gone for good.
Anele is strong and I am proud of her. We all proud of her and we will always stand by her.
Yep Anele-chan! I am listening to you. You can talk for hours.
And....now dwarfs!!!! Aneleee!!! Did you put on your glasses??? :p
Anele,
Anele-chan, nice to see you here. You are the one who can talk hours about this. But, you summarized it very well. It definitely is because those people are narrow-minded and jealous. But, we shouldn't let them destroy here and us with their dirty attacks, don't you think so?
PS. aha!! Buried a person!!! OMG! Can't you see those cute kids! There is a friendship circle on that pic Aneleeee!!!!!
Zulkifli,
Those people don't only choose the naive ones, they usually attack to the ones we love much. I think it simply is because of their jealousy.
Thanks for your comment.
Great blog Yasmin dear, you could save many naive innocent members by sharing this. Pity of them if they experienced some wrongdoing by bad people.
May Allah, The Almighty, protects those who have carelessly exposed their true identities on the web.
Rocío Ares,
Unfortunately, these kind people are everywhere. What is sad they are in EC, too. I don't understand how they can have fun with humiliating others with an ugly attack. As you say, there are a lot of eyes watching us. Therefore, we need to be careful and don't let these people hurt us and our friends.
Thanks for your comment.
Adem,
Thanks for your sincere friendship. It is really nice to hear those compliments from you. :)
Manal,
It has been a while since I didn't hear about you. Where were you? :)))
We can trust our cute friends. I know they are sincere. This blog was written just for a few people, and they know themselves very well. Thanks for your comment.
Friend,
I agree with you. These kind of things generally happens to girls. I hope it won't happen in EC anymore.
@ Rajesh,
And...I want to hear your opinions about this topic. Have you ever experienced or seen something like this here?
@ Tetyana,
I also don't want to think something like that can occur here. We are from different countries, it is almost impossible. But, here, sometimes some people expose others with an ugly attack. It happens when they want to humiliate our precious friends. We shouldn't believe such ugly things.
