This is because turning off the monitor will immediately remove the distressing content from your view, and informing a trusted adult will allow them to provide guidance and support in dealing with the situation. Keeping the incident to yourself may not be helpful, and showing everyone or eating a banana are unrelated and ineffective responses to addressing the issue.

Additionally, the absence of physical presence and non-verbal cues makes it challenging to gauge someone's true character. Therefore, it is always advisable to exercise caution and not blindly trust online acquaintances.

Doing any of these actions can potentially lead to security risks, viruses, or illegal activities. It is important to practice safe and ethical behavior while using the internet.
