The Internet is an integral part of our everyday lives. And of the lives of our children, as this video shows
It is crucial to teach children how to use the Internet, in particular social media, and how to be safe. The European Commission initiated some time ago the Safer Internet Day, which is celebrated every year in February.
This year, on 9 February 2016, countries around the world have organised activities and awareness initiatives to spread the word about a safer Internet for us all. In Luxembourg, Bee Secure organised activities for children and young adults aiming at familiarising them with new media, social media, protecting your privacy, online reputation and other related topics.
We all live in a digital environment where technology is an integral part of our lives. The key to a better and safer internet is learning to look for opportunities and positive content, and to recognise and report illegal and harmful content.
In this year's infographic the Safer Internet Day initiative asks of industries to create and promote positive content online. At ING Luxembourg we try to do just that with this column and with our financial blog MyMoney, where we share tips and tricks on passwords, anti-viruses and the like. In our Security Centre we give detailed information on how to do safe online banking and protect your data.
Everyday should be Safer Internet Day. Play your part for a better Internet!
