Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2021 is Safer Internet Day; a day to join together to make the internet a safer and better place for all, and especially for children and young people.\u00a0 <\/span>Defend Dignity<\/span><\/a> is happy to celebrate this important effort through information sharing, conversation, and engagement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Canada, Defend Dignity supports the excellent work of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, which heads up Safer Internet Day nationally.\u00a0 Through their <\/span>site<\/span><\/a>, you have access to age-specific information on the interests and risks of youth online, as well as emerging issues for each age group.\u00a0 They also have <\/span>read-along comic book<\/span><\/a> about safe internet use, geared to children around grade 3 or 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve made it easy for you to <\/span>engage<\/span><\/a> on this issue.\u00a0 Defend Dignity has been working to encourage companies to have safer internet access and content for several years through our Choose Change campaign.\u00a0 This year, with more online activity by kids of all ages, we have focused on <\/span>Social Media<\/span><\/a> companies, asking them to increase safety features in their apps, so children can enjoy the creative and entertaining aspects, while having a safe online experience.\u00a0 Go to the <\/span>Choose Change<\/span><\/a> site where you can send a letter to Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok executives asking them to keep improving user safety on their apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another way to <\/span>engage<\/span><\/a> is to support a Canadian Bill, <\/span>Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 This Bill aims to protect the mental health of young persons by protecting them from the harmful effects of exposure to sexually explicit material online. You can support this Bill by emailing your <\/span>Senators<\/span><\/a> in Ottawa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
