1- Never make negative comments about sports tragedies. For example, a tragedy can occur in which several members of a sports team lose their lives. It turns out that you are from the opposing team and the final of an important tournament is being played. You may be tempted to post comments expressing joy about this tragedy, but have you considered that it could be offensive to others?
2- Do not publish as a reporter where you are at any moment. It may be tempting to find yourself on a beautiful beach away from home, posting how well you are going. While near your home, an offender who already has your identified networks decides to pay you a visit in your absence.
3- Do not accept all requests for friendship that arrive at you. While it is very comforting to have many requests from people who want to establish a friendship with you, no less true is also that not everyone could have good intentions. Some might be looking for ways to identify your moves, steal personal information or create a fake network for personal gain. In this sense, before accepting a friend request, you must identify who is involved, how long you have had this profile, how many friends you have, how many publications you have made, etc.
4- Do not publish all your personal information like phone numbers, social security, full name, and address, because these data can be used to create an identity parallel to yours, stealing your identity causing you economic losses.
5- Do not accept requests from friends that you already have added to your friend's list without first communicating through other channels with this person, because it is possible that the identity of this contact has been stolen.
6- Do not make offensive publications of a sexual nature. The online social networking platforms are designed so that anyone can report your activity; this can lead to the undoing of your profile. In addition, your contacts can consider you as an insensitive person.
