In today's digital world, our kids are more connected than ever. While the internet offers amazing opportunities, it also comes with serious risks. One alarming trend is the rise of non-consensual deepfakes—realistic but fake videos created using artificial intelligence.

Make sure they are age-appropriate and have strong privacy settings. 💬Promote Safe Sharing: Remind children to be cautious about sharing personal information and images online. 🤔Critical Thinking: Encourage your kids to question what they see online and verify information from multiple sources.
