Tuesday, 5 February 2013

The UK Safer Internet Centre (@UK_SIC) has been using Twitter to help spread the word about Safer Internet Day 2013, which took place today.

The UK Safer Internet Centre delivers a wide range of activity to promote the safe and responsible use of technology. The theme of Safer Internet Day 2013 was ‘Connect with Respect’, which was brought to life in this information video:

They also used the platform to promote the Safer Internet Day radio marathon, which ran from 9am to 9pm, and included an interview with Twitter’s Director of Trust and Safety, Del Harvey (@Delbius).

The team used Twitter to retweet messages from supporters and partners including @childnet:

The Safer Internet Centre was the first UK participant in the Twitter Ads For Good programme, which provides pro bono Twitter advertising to selected charities and non-profit organisations.
