Safer Internet Day – 6 February 2018
Safer Internet Day 2018 is on 6 February and aims to raise awareness of online issues ranging from cyberbullying through to identity theft. It was originally a European initiative, but has grown into a worldwide event with activities being held locally in 130 countries.
Safer Internet Day (SID) is organised by the joint Insafe-INHOPE network, with the support of the European Commission. and as a European company it is a natural action for Findx to champion the initiative.
