Germany: It’s about safety & security.
This day shows impressively what the nature of the internet is like. The whole wide world one mouse click away. This posting is embedded in news from Greece, Thailand, Taiwan, Lithuania... and many more. The world wide and open character leads to one fact: the net offers all the good things but all the bad things, too. This is why we at AOL put big efforts in internet security.
In 2005 we founded the “AOL Sicherheitsrat” here in Germany. This safety & security council is an autonomous advisory board set up to improve our work on safety & security issues and then share the findings. By this we are a lighthouse in terms of internet safety & security. On Dec 18th 2006 the council made it’s first public report. The board was working on ideas for a safer internet for children, protection against accusable content and matters injuring the human dignity. It also discussed copyright issues, privacy and data protection to name a few.
You can download the whole report (in German) here.
With AOL we are now combining our forces to offer great content and services. But as I said: being the lighthouse in terms of internet safety & security is our mission and we are on a good way!
Last but not least we will give you this two links to an online quiz game, set up by Klicksafe, an initiative in which we are partners, and AOL:
