Why be a good Cyber Citizen?
YouTube has literally MILLIONS of viewers every day and just like in the real world, most of the people are good, but some aren't. While YouTube can help you resolve some of your issues with privacy and harassment, we still need your help in setting an example of good behavior while interacting with others on the site. The more people treat each other with respect and report inappropriate content, the better chance people will have a positive experience while using YouTube resulting in a happier community. Participating in such activities as harassing another user, uploading content that is not your own, impersonating individual's channels or revealing someone's private information may result in a penalty or termination of your account.

Online or cyber citizenship isn’t just about recognising and dealing with online hazards, it’s also about building safe spaces and communities, as well as understanding how to manage personal information, and using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same. You can find out more about being a cybercitizen on Childnet’s Digizen site at www.digizen.org.uk.Top Tips:  Keep your personal information such as your full name, address, and phone number private—don’t post it online. Before you post a photo or video clip be sure you have the permission of each person in it—not everyone wants to be famous! Learn how to use e-safety tools such as blocking a user, setting your site to ‘private’ or reporting abuse to the website or service provider. Be original! Only post your own creations online. Photos, clips, and films that can be purchased elsewhere are usually copyrighted and should never be reproduced. |

Tips from Cybersmart.gov.au:  Keep your personal details private. Use an appropriate handle or username instead of your real name. If you are unsure, don’t give out your name, address, phone number or any other personal details over the internet. Don’t share your username or password with anyone. Think before you hit send or post. Once something is posted, it can be online forever. Don't post anything you don't want others to know—or that you wouldn’t say to them face to face. Respect your friends too—that ‘funny’ photo of them at a party might not be so funny for them, and they might not be very happy if you post it up for everyone in the world to see. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Remember that private images and videos you send to friends or post on a social networking site may be easily passed on to others and uploaded to public sites. This can include pictures that may only be intended for your close friends or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Once they’re up, it’s almost impossible to remove them completely. Respect other people’s content and be aware that if you post or share their content it might breach copyright laws. For example, a photo that your friend took is their property, not yours. You can only post it online if you have their permission. Read the terms and conditions of any photo or content sharing sites. Some sites require you to license the material to the site, which might mean that you lose control over your content.

Tips from Hector's World: Although YouTube is for people over the age of 13, younger siblings
can often observe what older family members are doing online.
Material that is fine for you may not be appropriate for a younger child.
Try and keep an eye out for any younger family members who may
be watching. Better yet, introduce those children to Hector's World
and supervise their use of the Hector's World Channel. This great site
is for children 2-9 years, where they can start learning the skills they
will need for life online. Taking the time to show them some of the
episodes and activities can help these younger ones stay safe.
