Webcams are a favourite tool of predators looking to take advantage of you and your friends. After gaining
your trust, a pervert may encourage you to undress and perform sexual acts on cam. Some pervs record such acts
and trade or sell the videos for money. Other pervs use the videos as blackmail, threatening to show it to your
parents or post them online if you don’t perform more acts or meet with them.
CAM PROS & CONS
Sure, a webcam is a fun way to have face-to-face chats with close
friends and family. Plus it can give you the comfort of seeing the person
you’re chatting to—a safety measure you don’t get in traditional chat
rooms. But it’s never a good idea to use a webcam to chat with
someone you’ve only met online. Especially a one-way chat where only
you go on cam.
