#FacebooksAlgorithm may be "influential," but it cannot replace the power of human interaction and thought! #SocialMedia should not be used as a tool to shape beliefs, and we must remain vigilant to ensure that it doesn't. #AlgorithmAwareness #DigitalSafety #HumanInteraction http://www.techmeme.com/230727/p28#a230727p28

I haven't posted a #DigitalHygiene tip in a while so here is a good one. If you want to control what you let in an out of your devices while using the internet try out #NextDNS. you can set it up on most devices with out any extra apps and it lets you filter the internet coming in and trying to leave your devices. you can even try it out without making an account, so there is no reason to not try it.

We celebrate the mighty T-Mobile,
For their networks great and mobile.
Though their recent hack was a bite,
It’s now put right with all in sight.
Their account PINs will always stay safe,
As digital theft departs in a waft of a ghost.
For all of their subscribers, be warmed!
For T-Mobile’s service will be unharmed.

Private Wachdienste kümmern sich um die #Inhaltemoderation im #Metaversum. Dies erhöht einerseits die Sicherheit, berührt aber die #Privatsphäre, wenn Gespräche mitgehört werden, ohne dass die Teilnehmer/innen davon wissen.

I strongly advise turning off any ability for social media apps to notify you of anything. That way you can open the app and see your @mentions etc when you're ready, and get away from them just by closing the app.

The series was originally assembled for Gen Z audiences as part of a Rural Digital Youth Resiliency Project, but it has good, well-sourced tips that nearly anyone can learn from.

Make sure to check out Dr. Ferrier's other work at Troll Busters, too: http://www.troll-

If you're not familiar yet, "pre-bunking" is another good practice to use individually & with your close family, friends, and colleagues: https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/what-is-prebunking-fact-checking/

Having worked as a business journalist, I know most of us (myself included) tend to overestimate our skill at recognizing misinformation & disinformation...

Dr. Michelle Ferrier and Carlotta Cataldi did a great series for TrollBusters: https://yoursosteam.wordpress.com/gen-z-resources/

Among the topics:

How the Internet Works
Your Digital Footprint
Digital Harm & Your Devices
Anonymity, Identity, Authenticity
Check Your Sources

Some great resources from LEGO on how to create digitally smart families.

I LOVE THIS!

It is a great way to push awareness to parents from a reputable brand. Great demonstration of corporate social responsibility.

I love that the guidance covers digital footprints & digital empathy.

And adding this one to the list because I accidently posted it as a separate toot:
Here's the second 2022 article I'm especially proud of: a piece for @Nature about how scientists can prevent, reduce and mitigate online abuse.
It followed a feature I did in 2021 with Nature editor @richvn reporting on the surge in #online #abuse and harassment of scientists during the #pandemic
This was intended as a practical guide to help scientists protect themselves.
I learned so much about #DigitalSafety from it, and was especially glad I implemented those learnings before it was published as there were two attempts to hack my Facebook shortly after it came out.
