Cyber safety was not a thing we talked about in our schools if I can recall correctly, often when the classroom moved to a computer lab room, the kids who had computers in their homes downloaded portable games to plug-in and play during classes.
Those who were not as proficient with computers simply played web-browser games when bored, as long as the teacher didn’t notice it was fun. I guess we as students took advantage of having been born during more technologically advanced times.

But I remember watching cyber security videos on YouTube and later on TV, back then it was enough to keep me from being groomed online. But it wasn’t real education toward proper ethical use of the internet.

As for today, I think the best way to keep people safe over the internet is good education, using the tools in controlled environments, so we can avoid the mistakes of the past of letting kids roam the seven seas of the net alone, warning them of the dangers without giving them the tools to avoid them.
