Connect. Reflect. Protect.
Uniting for a Safer Internet Day 2024
?? Today, on February 6th, we join hands globally to observe Safer Internet Day, a vital initiative dedicated to raising awareness about online safety. This year, the theme is "Connect. Reflect. Protect." - a call to action for individuals and communities worldwide to prioritise online safety. Our focus this year is on combating online harm, with specific attention to issues like cyberbullying, adult cyber abuse, image-based abuse, and the circulation of illegal and restricted online content. Join us in making every day a Safer Internet Day by learning, sharing, and taking action.

1 年Today is Safer Internet Day. In Australia this is spearheaded by the eSafety Commissioner whom my team and I work closely with. We're hosting a series of events internally to increase awareness about tech based abuse. We're also posting advice on the nbn? Australia account so that all Australians understand this important topic and can protect themselves and their families better.
