What should you think about
before sharing a picture online?
We need to think about:
- Who does the image belong to? (ownership)
- Has the person the picture belongs to said it can be shared? (permission)
- Do I need to give the person who created it credit?
- Where will I share it?
- Who will see it if I share it?
- Is the image appropriate to be shared?

- Websites and their content are created and owned by people.
- The content can be text, images, or media (audio and video.)
- Websites have owners.
- There are rules to protect the content. (For example, one needs to get permission.)
- Sometimes we may use content but we have to give credit to the person who created it.
