As college students, it's essential to be aware of the risks associated with sharing intimate photos online. Sending nude photos or engaging in explicit conversations can lead to serious consequences, including:

• Blackmail and extortion
• Revenge porn and online harassment
• Damage to your reputation and future opportunities

Remember, once you share something online, you lose control over it. It's crucial to think before you share and consider the potential risks. Here are some tips to protect yourself:

• Be cautious when meeting people online, and never send intimate photos to someone you don't know well.
• Use privacy settings on social media platforms to limit who can see your content.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi or unsecured networks to share sensitive information.
• Keep your devices and apps up to date with the latest security patches.

If you're a victim of online harassment or exploitation, know that help is available. Many times these suspects will demand payments via gift card or risk exposure. DON'T SEND THEM ANY PAYMENTS. Reach out to the Penn College Police Department or a trusted authority figure for support and guidance.

Protect your digital reputation and remember: your privacy is worth it.

Stay safe online, Wildcats!
