Safer Internet Day HistorySafer Internet Day aims at promoting a safer and more responsible use of online technology and digital devices, particularly among children and young people. The observance seeks to raise awareness of the potential risks and dangers associated with internet usage while encouraging individuals, communities, and organizations to work together in creating a better online environment. Central to Safer Internet Day is the idea that everyone has a role to play in ensuring the safety of all users, especially the most vulnerable members of society. The initiative was initially launched in 2004 by the European Union's SafeBorders project, and through the years, it has grown to encompass over 170 countries worldwide. In the United States, the need for Safer Internet Day is especially significant given the increasing prominence of cyberbullying, online privacy concerns, and the prevalent use of social media among American youth. The observance seeks to empower young people, their families, educators, and communities to navigate the digital world safely, responsibly, and respect for others. Typical customs and activities associated with Safer Internet Day in America include educational programs, workshops, and campaigns designed to teach internet safety skills and promote responsible online behavior. Schools, libraries, and other community organizations often host events, while businesses and non-profit institutions may provide resources and support. Safer Internet Day is observed annually on the second Tuesday of February. Safer Internet Day Facts
