How to help
Check the whole photo. Look at backgrounds, uniforms and location tags before posting. Ask before sharing photos of others.
Choose the audience. Use private accounts, review friend lists and turn off unnecessary location sharing.
Agree on family rules. Keep live locations and routines away from strangers. Seek help if private details are used to threaten or stalk.
