Can you help us make the internet safer? If you’re a parent of an 11-16 year old who has been the target of an online scam - where someone has pretended to be who they're not in order to get your child to give them private information, or money, or get involved in a fake selling scheme - then we would love to talk to both you and your child. We will pay you £40 for your time in attending the session. We’re working to make the internet safer and we urgently need stories from young people and families who have been impacted by online scams, to understand the lasting emotional impact and to help us raise awareness and create change. Elements from the stories shared with us will be made anonymous and used by Global Action Plan and Global Action Plan’s campaign brand collaborators on Safer Internet Day as part of a press and social media campaign to highlight the impact of scams on young people. Complete this form to book a 30 minute Zoom call with a DBS-checked practitioner - to take place before 5th February - with you and your child. Please share this opportunity with your networks. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e5eqP9ki

TIK TOK Conundrum There is no question that TIKTOK under continued Chinese Government influence is a significant national security concern. That is the argument made by the US Government Solicitor General made before SCOTUS and the US government won in a 9-0 vote. That indicates that this issue for SCOTUS is non political and strictly based on national security concerns. For those Americans claiming that the SCOTUS decision harms their business model, the question they must answer is: “is my business more important than overall American security”. We saw a similar conundrum back in the late 1930’s and early 1940s when businesses led by Henry Ford and Fred Trump provided products to the Nazis over the objections of FDR; they wanted America to enter the Second World War on the side of the Axis powers because it would in their opinion be good for their business. Today’s SCOTUS is the worst in my 76 year life but, this unanimous decision is the right one. If everyone of the American TIKTOK users was required to serve in the military, they would have a vested interest in the importance of national security. Perhaps they need to consider the greater good. Those TIKTOK users who are jumping to “REDNOSE” which is owned by the same Chinese company, and doing this as a protest or to get around the potential ban are no different than Henry Ford or Fred Trump or any of the other Americans who effectively colluded with Hitler so many years ago. This outrage is partly due to the failure of the American education system which has so whitewashed history under the guise of claiming its “woke” is why we find ourselves with a current generation with no sense of history and thus doomed to repeat the mistakes we should have learned in school. Bottom line for me: 1) either TIKTOK is sold to a company under US control or it’s banned. 2) skirting that ban by jumping to REDNOSE or any other non US controlled company should be a potential violation of the Hatch Act. 3) develop our own system

Australia has recently introduced legislation to ban under 16s from having social media accounts, in a bid to tackle online safety concerns. I personally think it's a good move but there still seems a long way to go to ensure the internet is safe for minors. In this article, I touch on the new rules and consider whether the same is coming our way! #OnlineSafetyAct #OnlineSafety #LewisSilkin #AgeBan

It's 2025, marking the last year of the first quarter of this century. Let us start this year to improve how we use LinkedIn using these 2 actionable tips: 1. Stop or minimize correcting any Internet stranger. Unless you are being paid to. Keep in mind the "Cunningham's Law" and the concept of publicity (good or bad, it's the same). 2. File a report if you spot a suspicious profile that keeps on spreading hate or someone that keeps on giving false advice (masking it as an opinion). Close it completely instead of asking the person to stop. Good if it's a fake profile; worse if it's a real person. I got to admit that this won't stop these people from doing what they want. But if this is the least that we can do to trim down these toxic entities, what's stopping you?
