Reading the Fine Print: Cyber Safety & More

I will admit that I easily get sucked into watching TikTok or scrolling some form of social media daily. I find my phone the first thing I reach for when I’m bored if I’m not already on it. Some of the apps I use most include Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok. I also like…
