🥳 Como cada segundo martes de febrero, celebramos el #SaferInternetDay para concientizar sobre los riesgos de seguridad y privacidad del mundo digital.

Abrimos 🧵 con datos que ayudan a pensar cuán preparados estamos para enfrentar los fraudes y engaños que circulan online.
⚠ El 81% de las personas que respondió nuestra encuesta recibió al menos un intento de engaño en 2022. El 6% cayó en la trampa.
¿Motivos? Los cibercriminales mejoran sus técnicas, el desconocimiento sobre estos engaños y las personas que aún creen que no son un blanco atractivo.
📧 El correo electrónico (71%) es el medio por el que más llegan engaños aunque casi el 40% considera que las redes sociales son más efectivas para los atacantes.
El phishing registró un récord histórico: más 400 mil ataques por mes en el tercer trimestre de 2022.

📢 A new report from the ADL Center on Tech & Society finds deplatforming extremist websites reduces online hate and harassment. A 🧵 for #SaferInternetDay.
Our research shows that it’s harder for extremists to spread their ideologies, recruit adherents, and profit from hateful content without their websites. And it shows how unexpected deplatforming makes it difficult for extremist websites to build and retain followers.
Infrastructure providers, or companies that offer services such as website hosting, domain registration, or payment processing, are poorly understood aspects of the internet. Our new report looks closer at these companies flying under the radar for serving extremist platforms.

These are necessary for them to engage as global digital citizens, to bring out their creative and entrepreneurial selves to the fullest, while safeguarding their rights.

It's #SaferInternetDay , a time for old codgers like me go on about how good the Web used to be back in the day. But was the internet ever safe? What went wrong? And what does the future hold?

Let me start up Netscape Navigator and give you a few thoughts *dialing tone*...
The internet began as a revolutionary thought: what if we had a place with no rules and no authority, where communication could be global, instantaneous and free?

We know what happened next. Money arrived. Wearing a polo shirt and preaching freedom. Yeah baby!
The internet is huge, and ever since its creation people have been trying to control it. Initially we worried about online security: the web is not very secure, a lot of its infrastructure is old and we're all pretty careless on security: fertile ground for mischief, or worse.

Pornhub, the popular and problematic adult video website, had its "stars" walk in New York Fashion Week as a "feminist statement.”

In 2018, I modeled in #NYFW as part of a #MeToo fashion show.

Now this.. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have a lot to say about it.🗣

🎥

1/
I was kidnapped and held captive by someone who was obsessed with raping and torturing young girls.

He built a dungeon.

Then live-streamed my torture.

Violent, sadistic, non-consensual (or appearing to be) porn SHOULD NOT be normalized or mainstreamed.

🚨I’m NOT kink-shaming.

I’m not saying that erotica is bad.

It’s the kind of content readily available today that’s the issue.

Consenting adults can choose to have whatever kind of sex they want, as long as it’s safe + consensual + and behind closed doors.

Not this! 👇

Disturbing @unibirmingham's new @birminghamdubai campus is sharing article with headline "Calling someone 'silly' in UAE can land you in jail". Highlights the very serious concerns over safety and academic freedom cc @BhamUniUnison #SaferInternetDay #HelloBrum #HumanRights
Article warns readers "Don't say bad words nor call people 'silly' or 'stupid', unless you want to end up in jail in the UAE." Given restrictions on LGBTQ, labour and women's rights, would these be considered "bad words" too @unibirmingham @birminghamdubai? #SaferInternetDay ImageImage
"Regardless of whether profanities are expressed as half-meant jokes or as part of a casual conversation, an insult is an insult - and it is a crime, according to the laws of the country." Hard to see how this is compatible w/ #AcademicFreedom #HelloBrum #SaferInternetDay

It's #SaferInternetDay today. Will tweet some tips today.
1. You can't lose what you don't have. Only register an account for a website or app when you really need to. Use a throwaway email address (like Mailinator) and fake as much personal data as possible.
#Security
2. Never reuse passwords. Even not for "low value" accounts. Use a password manager or even a password book if that's most convenient for you to support you in creating unique passwords.
#SaferInternetDay #Security
3. Configure 2FA for your online accounts when possible, even if only SMS based 2FA is available. 2FA is always better than no 2FA. Configure a fallback (2FA backup codes or other recovery mechanism) for when the code cannot be received or generated.
