was Safer Internet Day in over 100 countries. If
you don't recall ever hearing about it before,
it's probably because the U.S. has been late
getting involved. But this year the day got
significant support from some big American
companies, and for good reason - they have a lot
to lose if the Internet becomes generally
considered unsafe. It's notable that the British
apparently continue to be more concerned about
Internet safety specifically for children, while
U.S. concern seems to be for all Internet users.

Internet Day: One in four children share
personal information with strangers online</a>
(The Independent/James Vincent) "The survey of
1,000 parents found that 25 per cent of young
children confessed sharing personal information
including their full name, address, password and
images with people they didn't know. The
research, which was conducted by Disney's Club
Penguin in partnership with Childnet and the
UK's Child Exploitation and Online Protection
Centre (CEOP), also found that one in six of the
children surveyed that sharing such information
was appropriate."</li>

children from online threats</a> (The
Telegraph/Sophie Curtis) "Separate research by
Kaspersky Lab found that more than a quarter of
parents believe their children have been exposed
to online risks, such as accessing inappropriate
content or cyber bullying, in the past 12
months. Last year, ISPs in the UK introduced
network filters which can block inappropriate
content from all the online devices within the
home. The filters block access to pornography,
'obscene and tasteless' content, hate and
self-harm, drugs, alcohol and tobacco and some
dating sites."</li>

Safer Internet Day</a> (PRNewswire) "According
to the MCSI [Microsoft Computing Safety Index]
survey, the annual worldwide impact of phishing
and various forms of identity theft could be as
high as $5 billion, with the cost of repairing
damage to peoples' online reputation higher yet
at nearly $6 billion, or an estimated average of
$632 per loss. This means that education and
guidance about how to avoid online risks remain
key and is why Microsoft is asking people to "Do
1 Thing" today and make it part of their daily
digital routine."</li>
