Online Chat Safety
Simple steps can make online conversations safer and more comfortable.
Protect personal information
Avoid posting passwords, financial information, private addresses, identity documents or other sensitive information in chat.
Be careful with links and requests
Do not open suspicious links or send money because another participant asks you to. Treat unexpected requests with caution.
Handle harassment
If another user behaves abusively or violates community rules, use the available moderation or reporting mechanisms rather than escalating the situation.
Use age-appropriate spaces
Follow the age requirements displayed for each community, including the separately identified 18+ page.
