When using the internet we have to be sure that we are not sharing any information that could be used against later. Young people often tag themself and show their current location and that can be really dangerous. World of technology is growing fast but it doesn't even consider the issue of safety.

One of the possible dangers is meeting someone with criminal background. So, first we have to be sure that the person we meet has got real identity, not false one.

Never meet anyone you only meet online. You can not be sure it is the same person. It might be dangerous.
