Safer Internet Day 2010
The 7th Safer Internet Day was celebrated on 9th February 2010 in more than 60 countries across the world. This year the theme was "Think Before You Post".
The growth of online tools like Facebook and Twitter provide a wealth of opportunities for young people to write about their lives, rant about any topic and, more importantly, a place where they can connect and share their lives with friends. Young people are enthusiastic about actively sharing personal information and opinion. Having a heightened need to communicate and to be included insocial networks, they willingly exploit these online facilities and push the boundaries of use to create virtual social networks.
The NCTE, its partners in 27 national awareness centres across Europe, and its associates in 40 other countries brought young people and adults together in local, regional, national and online events all around the world to raise awareness of online privacy issues.
