3. I took a photo of my
friend, now what?
Is it a good photo?
Would my friend agree?
Could it get someone in
trouble?
YES NO
YES
YES NO
NO
Take pride in photos
you share. Only
show the best ones!
Be nice!
Would
you want
your
friend to
post a
bad
photo of
you?
You never know who might see the photo. Don’t post photos that may
hurt someone.
4. Could it get someone
in trouble?
Is it going to cause
drama?
Am I aware that
anyone can copy it?
YES
NO
YES
NO It’s not worth posting.
Anything you
post can be
copied and
shared with a
large invisible
audience!
NO
5. Am I aware anyone can copy it?
Would I be OK with my Grandma
seeing it?
A year from now will I feel
comfortable with making this
public?
NO
NOYES
YES
If you don’t
think Grandma
would approve,
others are
likely to find it
inappropriate
too.
If you have
ANY doubts,
do not post it!
YES
