Since then she has made it her goal to educate everyone about what information is inappropriate or unsafe to share online to prevent others from getting hurt.
As a Cyber Defender, Betty focuses on the most important information you should never share online, your offline identity.

Netiquette - Photo Tagging
To tag or not to tag - that is the question. Photo tagging, for anyone who doesn't know, is nothing more than labeling a picture online. So what's the big deal? How can photo tagging go wrong? Very easily.
Imagine this. You're at a birthday party acting silly with your friends. Maybe you're dancing around with a lampshade on your head. Maybe you're getting a slice of cake smashed into your face. Someone asks if they can take a picture of you, and you say yes. If only you knew they were going to put that picture on the Internet! With your name attached to it! Now everyone in your entire school can see it! Oh no!
My dear cadets, no one wants this to happen to them. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to avoid this. Firstly, never post anyone's picture online without their permission. Even if they give you permission, make sure to ask if you can tag them in the picture. Also, if someone posts a picture of you and you don't want it up, don't overreact! Just be calm and ask them to take it down or remove the tag.
