Favorite movie
Correct Answer
A. Favorite movieExplanation
It is generally considered safe to reveal information about one's favorite movie online. Unlike personal details such as home address, phone number, or name of your school, sharing your favorite movie does not pose a significant risk to your privacy or security. Favorite movies are often shared as personal preferences and do not reveal sensitive information that could be used to harm or exploit an individual. However, it is important to exercise caution and avoid sharing too much personal information online to protect oneself from potential risks.Rate this question:

-
Because they don't like talking
Correct Answer
A. Because it's easier to be mean to someone over the internet instead of face to faceExplanation
People say mean things online or in text instead of in person because it's easier to be mean to someone over the internet instead of face to face. The anonymity and distance provided by online platforms make it easier for individuals to hide behind a screen and express their negative thoughts without facing immediate consequences or seeing the impact on the other person's face. This lack of accountability and detachment from the real-life consequences of their actions can lead people to behave in a more hurtful and disrespectful manner online.Rate this question:

This lack of physical presence makes it difficult to truly know who the person behind the screen is. Online friends can easily create false identities or hide their true intentions, which is why it is important to exercise caution and be more skeptical when interacting with them compared to friends you meet in real life.Rate this question:
