Meeting people from online in person can be dangerous, thus it is crucial to take safety precautions.
Never disclose personal information such as address, workplace/school, phone number, passwords, or financial details to strangers online.
Before meeting someone, research their online presence, avoid private or unfamiliar meeting locations, and inform a trusted person or bring a friend along.
During the meeting, ensure safety by meeting in public places, staying sober and aware, securing your drink, and knowing emergency exits for a quick escape if necessary.
