One lesson in tabs. Facts come from the official page; where it blocked us, we say so.

Setup

Open the official site

Privacy first

Read its privacy settings before sharing anything personal. Don't paste passwords, ID numbers or other people's details.

Careful with

Advice on health, money or law: confirm with a professional or official source

Check the service's age rules; set up supervision.

Prompt examples

Brainstorm
