Europe funds safer surfing initiative

Published: 13 March 2004 y., Saturday
,The European Commission is backing new hotlines that allow the public to report spam and other illegal or harmful internet content. The aim of the four-year Safer Internet Programme is to make surfing less dangerous for children. The €50m initiative will run from 2005 to 2008 and will provide funding to develop technologies which filter out harmful material at source. In line with its self-regulatory approach, the Commission plans to get the message across by persuading the public, private and voluntary sectors to prepare hard-hitting safety campaigns.
