Safer Internet Day 9 February 2010

Safer Internet Day 2010 is coming up on February 9th. The Cyprus Safer Internet Center - Cyberethics, like every year is celebrating this day with many awareness events during that week. The theme of this year's Safer Internet Day is "Think before you post", since data protection is one of our main concerns we encourage Internet users to be extra careful on what they publish or upload online.
