Ooredoo has launched a new online safety campaign, which aims to educate social media users on the platforms available to them, as well as offer top tips for parents on how to keep their children cyber-safe.
The objective is to ensure that parents and children know the risks of being online and also to teach users how to combat inappropriate content on social media.
“Ooredoo invest millions in protecting our users from the dark side of the Internet and we understand the solutions need to extend beyond technological protection,” said Fatima Sultan al-Kuwari, director, Community and Public relations, Ooredoo.
The campaign will cover some of the most popular social media sites, including Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
It will also include a guide to online scams and a dedicated post regarding online access for children.
In an introductory post on the Ooredoo Community (http://community.ooredoo.qa), the company highlighted that children under the age of 13 should not have access to social media as per the platforms’ terms and conditions.
The post also suggested that families, or anyone who does not want to see explicit content, set their own rules about online behaviour.
The posts will be published weekly via the Ooredoo Community, and will be available in both English and Arabic.
