Online Safety

Okay, I actually came across this through my unhealthy obsession with Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bear from Heroes). But i've discovered that this may actually be quite handy for people here on deviantART, especially females and the younger generation (hopefully no younger than 13 though as you shouldn't be on this site) .



We all come across the people on dAmn asking for pictures, or their e-mail e.t.c Most times it's harmless, but not always. Just be weary of that.



I'd like to make people aware that they shouldn't be so quick to give out information. I see a lot of people posting non-artistic plain nude shots of themselves posing infront of the mirror, and this genuinly scares me - Not because i'm frightened to look, because i'm scared of what kind of people are looking at your images, and sending messages to you.



Not everybody on the internet are who they say they are. I'm sure many of you aren't naive enough to be taken in - but some are. And I know this from experiance. People can make you believe anything they want, try and not trust people you barely know.



Anyway, this is a news article not a journal I swear.

Below is a useful site showing awarness for Online Safety.
You can order a free ring from there, to promote the cause.
I actually have two of these rings which arrived in the post a few days ago, they are nothing much - but it's a little reminder.

Here is the website:
