Today I will relate two very important issues to consider on the Internet. On the one hand, the Internet security and on the other hand the issue of privacy policies of some Companies like Facebook macro . movidito have been the last two weeks to Facebook by management have been conducted regarding its privacy policy. It started when Facebook established a change in its privacy policy regarding the use of data provided by its users, in which users provide their personal data would be forever available to the company, which generated an avalanche of criticism from users, and that privacy is often questioned but the reality is that there must be a control on it and should not be allowed unfair as those implemented Facebook on 4 February. While it is true that has served to demonstrate that Internet users are still those who rule and that if they unite against this type of unilateral and disproportionate actions can change things, as can be seen in the announcement through Blog the founder and leader, Mark Zuckerberg , which decided to return to the conditions and terms of use of the site prior to changes on 4 February. Facebook has definitely taken the right path and has decided to ignore their users that the end of the day is your most valuable asset, so from viálogosTIC praise his decision and even more so when the notice is your founder himself, because as they say rectify is wise.
If one side are companies on the other are the users and / or people think it is important for people to raise awareness about the responsible use of their personal data, social networks, such as subscriptions to online services . It is not always considering the likelihood of theft, fraud, or big brothers, but to act with common sense, that is, whether on the street will not disclose your personal data to a stranger on the network should not be different. The AEPD not long ago published a guide that warns about the risks of social networks ( AEPD and INTECO ) in the suggested improvements in protection systems.
other hand, last week took place on secure Internet, something considered important but not very useful, since they hold a day is not much, if it is true that at least contributes to the awareness of a more prudent tools and services we find online. The Safer Internet Day is an event that takes place every year in February, involving 55 countries on 5 continents in 2008. It is organized by INSAFE European Network for a Secure Internet and in Spain by the Association as Protégeles English node of INSAFE . In 2009, the central issue being addressed is the prevention of cyber-bullying or online bullying. PROTEGELES main goal is getting an Internet safer for children as well as to promote optimal use and safer technologies including information and communication technologies (ICTs). It performs the activity of promotion and awareness of safe Internet use by children, through awareness campaigns targeting children, educators and parents as well as communication and information campaigns that reach the media and the public general.
Microsoft and the European Commission Protégeles join and the English Association of Pediatrics to celebrate Safer Internet Day. Among the planned activities is the training by 60 volunteers from Microsoft for more than 300 parents, about 3,000 children and 15,000 young Scouts in Spain. The launch of the site, in addition to promoting use of child protection software, provides tips for parents and children / adolescents.
The AEPD (English Agency for Data Protection) published for some time a guide for the use of Internet by children Travel Guide which is also geared to parents of minors as many times parents do not know what risks and benefits are offered or have Internet, it is therefore very important to also teach parents about the use of Internet and networking tools such as social, forums, chats, etc.
However, not everything the Internet offers is bad for children, much less, as commented in the post "Social networks, children and old wives tales" Professor of Instituto de Empresa (IE ) and known blogger Enrique Dans. In highlighting the benefits of such tools for children to maintain a connection when and in tune with your friends and thereby strengthen their social relationships.
Therefore we must ensure that the Internet is a more secure and useful for all, starting to be more diligent in the use of our personal data, as well as our children face, the study of the network because if a father or mother knows nothing about the Internet (hazards, precautions and safety measures) will hardly be able to guide and help your child about what should and should not do on the Internet.
