Happy Wear It Purple Day! ๐ Today, as we celebrate diversity and show our support for LGBTQIA+ youth, letโs also remember how important it is to create safe spaces online. Be kind in your comments and if you see any cyberbullying or harmful content- report it.
Doxing is a serious #privacy violation where someone leaks your personal info online without consent. Itโs not just wrong - itโs illegal.
Itโs important to stay safe online and know what to do if you are doxed. Check out eSafetyโs guide to #doxing here: https://t.co/XSA0BbElDF
