Tumblr Post 10
Today I accomplished some more research. I still ave lots more to do. What has been difficult for me is trying to explain things in a way that others will understand. I grew up around cows and food safety but I realize that not everyone has. So far there have been no major problems.

I feel very empowered when interacting online. I have the power to determine who sees my profiles, who I am “friends” with, what pictures/information about me are/is posted, and how I act online. I can delete any posts, comments, or photos that I make or people make on my statuses or wall. I can also report anyone who cyberbullies me or anyone else for that matter.
