Digital privacy and safety experts take questions on how to secure two of your most important assets — your data and your well-being.

Both Sally Richardson, director of product management and UX at Mozilla, and Rob Morris, PhD, founder of mental health non-profit Koko, are at the cutting edge of developing solutions to minimize online harm. Sally works with the Mozilla team innovating tools that scrub data, facilitate password management and enable safer access to the internet. Rob’s non-profit Koko provides the evidence-based mental support young people need where they need it — online.

In partnership with Mozilla, Sally and Rob answered reader questions about making the digital world a safer place. Among them:

  • If I could only do one thing today to protect my data online, what would you suggest?
  • What gives you hope about the digital age?
  • In terms of social media, what are some ways to maintain balance and keep mental health in check?
  • How would you explain being safe online to a grandparent who really doesn’t understand the internet?
  • Is it risky to post a newborn’s full name, birth date and place of birth as a social media birth announcement?
