2.3 Outing

What is it?

Another form of cyberbullying is the act of outing, meaning the act of sharing and publishing private information online or forwarding personal communications to people who did not mean to be the recipients. It aims at embarrassing or publicly humiliating a person through the online posting of sensitive, private or embarrassing information without their consent. As an action, it can cause real psychological damage to the people involved.



Activity

Data protection

Sometimes outing can happen due to our negligence to protect our personal data. How can you raise awareness of data protection in your classroom?


It is necessary to constantly repeat the rules of conduct on the internet and teach them. We need to raise awareness on the repercussions of making ourselves public. We need to teach pupils about the importance of conducting ourselves ethically online and that decisions made at a young age can have severe repercussions ever some years later. I think that it all boils down to educations and to make pupils aware in terms of statistics about the effects of being online.
