The Grandma Rule

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/katies-take-abc-news/protecting-kids-online-110713192.html

2. The Grandma Rule: A good rule of thumb is to ask, "Would I be embarrassed if Grandma saw this post?"
If yes, leave it off line.

I know what "grandma" means, but I don't understand this rule. Could you tell me details on it?

Hi,

I don't understand this rule.

Don't post anything that your think would make your grandma uncomfortable, or disappointed in you.
