Abstract

The article examines the issues of digital safety in social networks among students in a vocational educational organization:media threats they face, problems and ways to protect personal pages. The purpose of the study is to study the subjective idea of digital safety in social networks of students of a vocational educational organization. The sociological online survey of vocational educational organization students in the Chelyabinsk region was used as a research method (the chronological scope of the survey is from January 16 to January 31, 2023). Thus, the material of the study was the results of a sociological survey (N=16169). The results of the survey regarding the popularity of social networks are fully correlated with the results of large domestic sociological surveys – most often over the past year, vocational educational organization students used VKontakte and Telegram; in general, a student’s page on a social network allows you to get a fairly complete picture of a person and his activities; students on these resources most often encounter deception and fraud; hacking a personal page, insults and threats in private messages, as well as creating a clone page; respondents refer to effective ways to protect their account and their identity: the absence of contacts on the personal page, the timely exit from accounts on other people’s devices, closing the page for those who are not friends, as well as limiting the placement of personal information on the page and the lack of geolocation. The authors of the article draw the conclusion about the insufficient competence of students in matters of digital security and the need for regular preventive measures to improve the overall level of media literacy and media security of students.
