We work in a strong national and international network for the protection, empowerment and safe participation of children and young people online. After all, online safety is not the task of individual people or institutions; it requires a broad social alliance.
Deborah Woldemichael, Head of EU initiative klicksafe about klicksafe In order to see through the manipulation of information, children and young people must learn that and how media are also used for disinformation and extremism. Media education forms the basis for this and also aims to encourage young people to play an active role in shaping democracy in their digital spaces.
Martin Drechsler, Managing Director of the FSM about manipulative information and democracy We must not leave children alone with their online experiences. Actively accompany the media use of children and young people. Regularly ask them about current trends and challenges or which channels and influencers they follow. At klicksafe you will find suitable information, tips and conversation starters.
Deborah Woldemichael, Head of the EU initiative on supporting children and young people in their use of media #FactProtect is important because with facts we understand, learn and know more and can better classify. A life with facts is worthwhile - committed to the truth.
Dr. Marc Jan Eumann, Director of the Media Authority Rhineland-Palatinate for Safer Internet Day 2021 - Motto #FactProtect If every person has his own facts and constructs his own reality, then it is no longer possible to communicate about problems in a society and search for common solutions.
Petra Grimm, Head of the Institute for Digital Ethics to the klicksafe material "Forming Opinions in the Digital World Pictures are remembered for longer and are also considered to be more truthful. It's not for nothing that we know phrases like "A picture is worth a thousand words". That is why it is so important today to give pupils the tools they need to recognize manipulated images and videos online.
Dr. Bernd Zywietz, Head of the Political Extremism department at jugendschutz.net about manipulative deepfakes For 20 years, klicksafe has been the media literacy rock in the surf of disinformation, hate speech and other online dangers.
