Sending a message to a friend

4. What does the 'ripple effect' mean in the context of digital footprints?(Required)

That deleting a post removes it from all platforms instantly

That AI systems improve every time you use them

That online content can spread far beyond the original audience, lose context, and remain accessible longer than intended

That your browsing speed slows down over time

5. In the STOP-THINK-CHECK-CHOOSE checklist, what does the 'CHECK' step ask you to consider?(Required)

Whether the content has enough likes to be worth sharing

Whether the audience setting is correct, whether the content includes other people, and whether it reveals extra data

Whether you have backed up your device recently

Whether the AI tool you used is up to date

6. How can AI systems use your digital footprint in everyday apps?(Required)

By sending your data to government agencies automatically

By deleting your old posts to free up storage

By translating your content into different languages

7. Before sharing content that includes another person, which question should you ask first?(Required)

Does the content look good?

Will this get many views?

Is another person included, and do they agree to this being shared with this audience?

Has this type of content been shared by others before?

8. According to Module 6, what is the recommended approach to granting app permissions?(Required)

Grant all permissions to make sure the app works perfectly

Never install apps that ask for any permissions

Give the minimum permissions needed and prefer 'only while using' over 'always'

Allow all permissions once and review them only when the app breaks
