Lesson Overview

6.02 – Sharing Threats or “Jokes”: Sharing or writing threats online, even as a “joke,” is something law enforcement takes seriously. What might feel funny or harmless to you could sound like a real danger to others. When words are typed into a post, text, or story, they lose tone and context — meaning readers can’t tell if you’re joking. Threats about harm, weapons, or violence can trigger police investigations, school lockdowns, or even federal attention. Once posted, screenshots can be sent anywhere, long after you delete them. Many teens have faced suspensions, arrests, and even felony charges for what they thought were jokes. The internet treats words as evidence, not emotions. A small moment of trying to be funny can change your record forever. Thinking before posting means protecting your freedom and future. It’s not about being scared — it’s about being smart. Words online carry weight, and knowing that can keep you out of deep trouble.
