The FTC has a vested interest in making sure that we are all safe online. They would like for us to be savvy consumers. Savvy consumers don't always know every answer, but they at least know the questions to ask. What better way for the FTC to make you a savvy consumer than to provide the education themselves. And they did: FTC.gov/YouAreHere.
You Are Here is a campaign showing kids and teens how to be smarter consumers. Questions such as how to comparison shop, how to tell if a deal is too good to be true, and even how to protect your identity.
I love that the information is clear and age appropriate, but still covers everything you'd need to know. Although the site isn't 100% specific to online safety, it does cover identity protection, how to identify a scam and how to protect your privacy. Take a look at the site and share it with kids. Come back here and tell us what you think about it.
