When I was growing up, we were told that the Internet is not a toy. You were not supposed to engage in tomfoolery, and you were not supposed to use your real name.

In a way we are lucky to have been spared the worst possible scenario in which these technologies and all their data on us is turned against us, but it could happen at any second. People need better education about this. This is something that everyone should learn in school.
