Safer Internet Day 2010: think before you post
Today in the EU is the Safer Internet Day: to be sincere, I’m not so convinced on the importance of these events… but its purposes are sharable.
This year the slogan is Think B4 U Post
, focusing social network sharing and UGCs: a funny video on YouTube is self-explanatory.
I think that the main goal will be to provide effective filters for children: actually, there’s no real way to protect them against dangerous contents.
One of these methods is the Google’s strict filtering: it’s far from being enough. Another useful resource is a campaign by Kaspersky Lab called Stop Digital Pollution.
That’s all good for prevention, but what about censorship? Most of web filters are no longer maintained and I don’t know open resources.
An interesting article comes from Facebook: I think that privacy settings are very important and I agree with Will Gardner, admin of digizen — and CEO of the Facebook’s Safety Advisory Board too.
