THIS WEEK IN ATHLETICS:
We can practice and model everyday consent online by:
- Respecting the devices and accounts of others. It’s never okay to try to unlock someone else’s phone without permission or look through their inbox or texts. Similarly, when sharing a device with someone, log out of accounts that you do not have permission to use and do not look at private account information.
- Asking permission before posting a photo of someone else on social media and before reposting or resharing something personal.
- Checking if it’s okay before sharing information outside of your one-on-one chat.
- Agreeing on a platform and giving options when communicating — for instance, giving the option to leave your webcam off during a video call.
- Making your availability for activities like video calls clear and conducting them within the agreed-upon time frame. Let a friend or colleague know you would like to video call specifically rather than assuming.
