Utdrag fra programmet: (eng.)

One of the highlights of the conference was the presentation of the Safer Internet programme for 2009 – 2013, the budget of which is €55 million. This significant sum of money is, as explained by Richard Swetenham, a representative of the European Commission, dedicated to both awareness rising and activities to suppress illegal content and harmful conduct on-line, including improved policing.

  • Cyberbullying - Professor Georges Steffgen, University of Luxemburg, presented outcomes of a research targeting detection of cyberbullying and possible reactions to this phenomenon. The European Commission presented a video, which draws the public attention to the issue of cyberbullying via social networks.
  • Self-regulation by mobile telephony providers – speakers presented outcomes of an agreement concluded between leading European providers and the European Commission on joint efforts in the field of protection of children using mobile telephones. One of the most significant provisions of the agreement is the parent control over the adult only content and the implementation of awareness rising campaigns for both children and their parents.
  • Social networks – the European Commission presented data revealing that, in Europe only, social networks already have 41,7 million users. Only last year, their numbers rose by 35 per cent. It is estimated that in 2012, social networks will have over one hundred million users.
