The EU is increasingly concerned about data protection in the internet. Such is the concern that they have created and promoted a European day to create awareness about this issue. Last Thursday I was reading a European newspaper when I bumped into a banner promoting this event. Following the URL took me to the web below (sorry, it’s in Spanish, but I will lay you out the basic content). The web is structured around 3 main objectives. Inform internet users about their rights, explain them how they can report inappropriate behaviors and give advice about how to manage knew channels(they include, sms, P2P, video and social networks). They provide a 64 page pdf that explains you quite a lot about the issue. It is very good.
I believe that this initiative is pretty cool. People are generally quite illiterate about internet issues, even those we use internet all day. Educate people on how to behave, and let them know what they can expect is helpful, especially when the threats are greater and greater as hackers and other delinquents get more sophisticated.
