HOW NOT TO MESS UP ONLINE

“We tell a child, “Use the force of your willpower to control how much time you’re spending [on social media],” you’re pitting a child against the world’s greatest product designers, and that’s just not a fair fight. And so that’s why I think our kids need help.’ – Surgeon General Vivek Murthy

How Not to Mess Up Online is the book every teen and parent needs in a world where the internet doesn’t come with training wheels. From AI and deepfakes to sextortion and screenshot scandals, today’s digital dangers move fast — and the law’s still catching up. That’s where we come in. Emma’s a leading digital law expert. Rorke’s a Gen Z with receipts. Together, we break down the legal, emotional, and reputational risks of being online — without preaching or sugarcoating it.

Packed with real South African case studies, chaotic cautionary tales, and clear legal advice, this guide covers everything from sexting and cyberbullying to scams, plagiarism, privacy, and AI-generated nonsense. It’s not about scaring you off the internet. It’s about showing you how to use it without it using you.
