Virtual identity. The young individuals post using a “virtual identity” and it is not possible to contact them directly, or know their personal information. In their profile, they must use a “nick” in place of their name and an “avatar” in place of a photo of themselves.

Contacts. The virtual community has specific security measures designed to prevent the young individuals from establishing contact with strangers and spreading their personal information throughout the Internet .

Secure Community. As for the interactions within the community, it cannot be forgotten that this is a real community before a virtual one: every young individual participating is a part of a group moderated by instructors. The people responsible for each group and each organization, knows each young individual that is participating. Also, everyone that forms part of the community subscribes through a process that is reviewed by several people, including the organization itself and Plataforma de Infancia. There are also specific measure taken for possible intrusions in the community, as well as regulation of all the interactions that occur, to facilitate an intervention if necessary .

Photos and videos. The photographs and videos that are uploaded are always reviewed and monitored by the facilitator of each group and by Plataforma de Infancia.

Abuse Report. The community itself has tools to draw the attention of the administrators about content or inappropriate behavior at any time. These notices are directly delivered to the technical staff that is responsible for the project at Plataforma de Infancia .
