Internet Data Privacy Day 2010: How to protect your kids (and yourself) online

Jan. 28 is Internet Data Privacy Day 2010 and it's a good day to take time to educate yourself about what you can do to protect you and your data on the Internet. It's also a great time to figure how you can be sure your kids aren't getting into trouble with their activities using the Internet.
