Today we took part in Internet Safety Day with the theme of ''Fake News'' online.

We discussed many negative ways that fake news can travel throughout various pieces of technology, including hackers, phishing messages, fake headlines, clickbait, sock puppet accounts, bots and satire sites.

We spoke about the effects these different areas can have on people and the signs to look out for. Check out the Internet matters website below for more information on this topic.
