With the recent high-profile incidents involving cyber-bullying via twitter, it’s important to ensure users of all ages know how to deal with abusive and harassing behaviour online.

The federal government has provided funding for cyber-safety initiatives over the past 5 years, including the creation of the Easy guide to socialising online.

This guide provides information on 27 of the most used social networks, breaking down how easy is used, potential costs, privacy protection and importantly how to deal with problems, such as harassment or inappropriate content on each.

The Easy Guide to socialising online is a valuable companion to anyone online.  You’ll find it at http://www.dbcde.gov.au/easyguide
