Online Scams, Catfishing and Creeps: Protecting Ourselves in the Digital Age

  • Virtual 1801 E Cotati Ave Rohnert Park, CA, 94928 United States (map)

Our lives have gone digital - and people tend to say and do things online that they would never say or do to your face. Some of these challenges are familiar (catfishing) and others sound like a sci-fi movie (deepfakes). This starts with a small shift to treat our digital safety like we treat our physical safety. From there, we can more easily avoid scams and respond to harassment in online spaces.  We'll also break down how anyone can survive and thrive in the modern dating landscape - and ensure the things we value in a relationship like boundaries, consent and safety aren't minimized online.
