The European Commission is leading a worldwide 'Safer Internet Day' today to highlight the potential dangers of using the web.  The aim of the event is to raise awareness of the potential risks associated with posting personal information and copyright material on blogs.

Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information Society and Media and patron of the event said: “Blogs are a popular new way of communicating for young people and for all age groups, so it is appropriate that the Insafe network is using a blog on Safer Internet Day to show how using the Internet can be enjoyable, and what young people need to remember when blogging.”
