¿Sabía Hable con los adolescentes sobre la publicación de fotos Las fotogra as que compar mos en Instagram y en otras redes sociales pueden revelar mu-cha más información que solo la imagen que queremos que vean nuestros seguidores.

Para obtener más información, solicite una copia del ar culo de VIRTUS “Seguridad tecnológi-ca” (Technology Safety) en h ps://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
